Female historians were rendered as male, and male nurses as female, reinforcing stereotypes. Google acknowledged the issue, explaining that gender is lost when translating to English, the bridging language. The feature affects hundreds of millions of European users who cannot easily avoid Google Translate on Android and Chrome.

Resident physicians at Stanford Medical Center protested after only seven out of over 1,300 were prioritised for the first 5,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. Hospital leadership blamed the unequal distribution plan on a "very complex algorithm", which used a points-based formula that researchers suspect used flawed proxies for COVID-19 risk. The algorithm reportedly failed to account for direct patient exposure and disadvantaged rotating residents. Following widespread backlash, Stanford apologised and stated it would revise its distribution plan, while some residents obtained vaccinations elsewhere.

The article reports that scientists are questioning the reliability of the QCovid risk prediction algorithm used by the NHS to prioritise COVID-19 vaccinations. Due to missing data on weight or ethnicity, the algorithm automatically assigns a high BMI and high-risk ethnicity, leading to young, healthy patients being incorrectly labelled as high risk and called for early vaccination. GPs have identified hundreds of such cases, causing anxiety and potentially delaying vaccinations for more vulnerable individuals. NHS Digital acknowledged the issue and said clinicians can remove patients from the shielding list.
