Race, Medical Data and AI with University of Toronto's LLana James

Our guest today is LLana James, Faculty of Medicine and PhD candidate at the University of Toronto and the AI, Medicine & Data Justice Post Doctoral Fellow at Queen’s University. She explains how racism has shaped Western medical practice, and she discusses the insidious ways in which old biases resurface in modern medical AI. Pranav and Adriel first give some background on how racial biases surface in modern AI before the interview. If you'd like to skip right to the interview with LLana, start listening at 7:37.
