Artificial Intelligence vision-language models (VLMs) hold great promise for dermatology, aiding in education and diagnostics. However, recent research reveals a significant bias: these models predominantly generate images of light skin tones, underrepresenting medium and dark skin. This disparity risks perpetuating inequality in medical training and healthcare outcomes. To ensure effective and fair use, AI models must be trained on diverse data reflecting all skin tones. Addressing this bias is crucial for advancing equitable dermatological care in AI applications.
