Bias and Health Care

Artificial intelligence has the potential to drastically improve so much of our lives. But it all depends on feeding the algorithms good data. Thanks to the gender data gap, when it comes to women, this is something of a problem. In this episode, Caroline investigates how, in a world where women’s heart attacks are already systematically underdiagnosed, artificial intelligence might actually be making healthcare worse for women. She also uncovers an intriguing solution – and dabbles in pre-crime. 

Bonus episodes featuring behind the scenes chats, rants, and stories from Caroline’s community of generic female pals are released every Friday for Tortoise members and Tortoise+ subscribers on Apple Podcasts.
