Summary

The text highlights the risks and limitations of artificial intelligence (AI) in detecting psychiatric disorders, with a significant proportion of models found to be biased. The issue is not just technical but also systemic, as AI often reflects the biases present in its training data. This can lead to AI failing to serve or even harming underserved communities. Furthermore, language models are trained on only a few languages, leaving out 2,500 languages at risk of digital extinction. To address these concerns, building ethical and inclusive AI requires intentional action, including education, community-building, and developing tools that promote responsible AI adoption. By working together, developers, business leaders, and curious observers can help create AI systems that serve everyone, not just a privileged few.
