Outstanding work by @alexdgibson.bsky.social to uncover the use of highly dubious data sets from @kaggle.com being used in hundreds of research papers and potentially even informing clinical practice. If you're re-using data, take the time to confirm that it's real. www.nature.com/articles/d41....

Dozens of AI disease-prediction models were trained on dubious data
The models are designed to predict someone’s risk of diabetes or stroke. A few might already have been used on patients.
