Gender Bias in AI’s Perception of Cardiovascular Risk

The study investigated gender bias in GPT-4’s assessment of coronary artery disease risk and showed that there was a substantial shift in the perception of risk between men and women when a psychiatric comorbidity was added to the vignette, even when they presented identical complaints.

This resulted in women being assessed as having as lower risk of CAD when concurrently having a psychiatric condition.
