A recent study funded by the NIH reveals that AI models analyzing social media language can accurately predict the severity of depression in white Americans, but not in Black Americans. By analyzing Facebook posts, researchers found that words and phrases associated with depression were much more indicative of depression severity in white individuals than in Black individuals. The study, conducted by researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and NIDA, underscores the necessity of diverse datasets when developing AI models to prevent perpetuating healthcare disparities. The study challenges assumptions about language and depression among different racial groups, highlighting the importance of race in mental health expressions.
