Governance for anti-racist AI in healthcare: integrating racism-related stress in psychiatric algorithms for Black Americans by Christopher T. Fields, Christopher T. Fields, Carmen Black, Carmen Black, Jannat K. Thind, Oluwole Jegede, Oluwole Jegede, Damla Aksen, Matthew Rosenblatt, Shervin Assari, Chyrell Bellamy, Elijah Anderson, Avram Holmes, Dustin Scheinost

“…This Perspective argues that algorithmic bias—manifested in the worsened performance of clinical algorithms for Black vs. white patients—is significantly driven by the failure to model the cumulative impacts of racism-related stress, particularly racial heteroscedasticity. Racial heteroscedasticity refers to the unequal variance in health outcomes and algorithmic predictions across racial groups, driven by differential exposure to racism-related stress. …”
