A community/support group for chronically ill people. While anyone is welcome, our number one priority is keeping this a safe space for chronically ill people.
Sure you still have innate/learned biases but eliminating situational (recent divorce) and bodily (hunger/sleepy/horny/sick) bias entirely is still a massive reduction in the total amount of bias you face day to day. If anything being able to see the biases of the data going into something like NarxCare is a good thing because now you have a paper trail for improvements. You can't just grab a hundred doctors and ask them "have you ever denied care due to your biases against women?" because the bad ones will either lie or not realize what they have done.
I would genuinely rather work with a doctor who just got divorced than have to fight the invisiable AI blackbox that calls me a drug addict for being chronically ill.
Unlike Narxcare, which just denies care due to biases and won't tell you why because it's a machine learning blackbox. There is no "paper trail" for NarxCare, because denying care to patients is the point. I can at least argue with doctors, or request a new one.
You can't fix social issues with technology, and every attempt will just make things worse for the affected people.
