Our brain, as a part of our evolution, is wired to stereotype and bias us against the ‘other.’ The innovation of technology is both good in medicine; and, potentially harmful toward increasing health disparities. You are invited to review this article to learn about concerns that are coming to light regarding artificial intelligence (AI) in health care.


 
A.I. Could Worsen Health Disparities




       
  • Femme–  This term describes a gender identity, historically embraced by lesbian or queer- identified women, who identify, stylize and/or express themselves in a feminine manner. Femme identities, communities and cultures emerged from the shared social experiences of lesbian and queer women whose gendered interactions with society were distinctive from both hetero-feminine and masculine women. Source
  • Gender Variant– This term describes people who by chance or choice do not conform to gender norms associated with their assigned sex. Source
  • Polysexual– A term used to describe someone who has an enduring or continuing orientation toward sexual encounters and/or intimate relationships that include more than two people. Polyqueer sexualities are sexual encounters/interactions or intimate relationships that, through plurality, challenge heteronormativity. Source
