In the final episode of season two, we delve into how housing — and today’s housing crisis — intersects with health care. We also explore how racial discrimination has played a part in causing this crisis, as well as present-day housing segregation on Long Island. We speak with Olivia Winslow, a demographic reporter at Newsday who investigated widespread housing discrimination by real estate agents on Long Island. We also talk with Alina Schnake-Mahl, an assistant professor of health management and policy at Drexel University, who tells us about how housing is health care and what that means in the suburbs — especially during a housing crisis.

“Racism is America’s oldest algorithm:” How bias creeps into health care AI
Artificial intelligence and medical algorithms are deeply intertwined with our modern healthcare system. These technologies mimic the thought processes of doctors to make medical decisions and are designed to help providers determine who needs care. But one big problem with at artificial intelligence is that it very often replicate the biases and blind spots of the humans who create them.
In this episode, we hear from Casey Ross, STAT’s national health tech correspondent, about his reporting on racial bias in AI . Chris Hemphill, the VP for Applied AI & Growth at Actium Health, tells us about the rise of responsible AI in healthcare. Ziad Obermeryer, an emergency medicine physician and researcher at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health, walks us through how his team found bias in an algorithm widely used in our healthcare system and an instance where AI was used to correct a health care injustice.
