AI is becoming clinically relevant for mood and anxiety care—but the evidence is uneven, and enthusiasm must be matched by guardrails. The priority now is not “AI everywhere,” but actionable, validated, clinically accountable tools that improve care. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Deep learning in medical imaging often takes shortcuts, finding spurious patterns instead of meaningful insights (e.g., predicting diet from knee X-rays 🤯). To mitigate this: diversify datasets, mask confounders, use adversarial training, and validate across distributions. #AIethics
