> racial bias in x-ray reading?

no, it implies there is a signal in the dataset that could be something other than clinical. This means that until they can pinpoint the cause, or the thing the AI is detecting, all the other things it predicts are suspect.

ie if the AI thinks the subject is west african, then it might be more inclined to diagnose something related to sickle cell.

Or north western european woman in her mid 60s vs a japanese woman might get widly different bone density readings for the same level of "blob" (most medical imaging is divining the meaning of blobs and smears )
