This is horrifying reading. Already women going to doctors receive worse care, and their health problems minimised or outright brushed off. Using AI only makes the problem worse. Biased data fed in a recursive loop.

Writers! Note that AI translation (under the guise of "global access") is being seen/used as the weak point to get AI into publishing (possible bc Eng lang publishing is weak on translation). Stand with translators & for more human translation, fairly paid!
