A new study highlights a hidden challenge of using AI in medical imaging research -- the phenomenon of highly accurate yet potentially misleading results known as 'shortcut learning.' The researchers analyzed thousands of knee X-rays and found that AI models can 'predict' unrelated and implausible traits such as whether patients abstained from eating refried beans or beer.
By Will Atwater People use single-use plastics multiple times every day shopping bags, fast-food containers, disposable forks and spoons, sandwich wrappers and countless other items.
