🌟Brilliant follow up on our recent research on #GenderBias of #AI in #SocialCare.
⏱️10 min read, exploring the nuances of the role of AI in supporting workforce, cost implications, as well as the 'real-world' human impact and how evidence-based decision making is what's needed.
AI tools are used in the UK’s public services to reduce paperwork and save time. But in social care contexts, LLMs can downplay women’s health needs compared to men’s, finds Sam Rickman. See our latest blog post #LSEInequalitiesBlog
