Bias and discrimination can arise on the basis of undetected biases included in the training data.
“Resulting ethical issues are, for example, those having to do with bias and discrimination (Johnson et al., 2019;Macnish, 2012), which can arise on the basis of undetected biases included in the training data.”

It is impossible to develop a code that covers all possibilities. Therefore, safety flaws in AI may endanger more patients than the possibility of a single misdiagnosis by a doctor because automated systems will replicate more errors.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
