I'm starting to see AI studies on the medical detection of child abuse, which unfortunately reproduce the same biases as the low-quality clinical data they are based on. An AI that would detect subdural and retinal hemorrhage without external signs of trauma with 99% accuracy would detect "child abuse with 99% accuracy" and would impress law enforcement and courts. However, it wouldn't be more reliable than an expert witness confidently asserting that these signs are almost always due to child abuse.
