One in seven people in prison in the US is serving a life sentence, and most of these people will eventually be eligible for discretionary parole release.

Decision-making using artificial intelligence (AI) aims to reduce human error and bias in the clinical decision process.

From the early introduction of slavery to the United States, not only did the economic prosperity of slavery depend on extracting reproductive labor from Black birthing people, but so did the field of medicine.
