Researchers have begun using computer‑made pictures to study how people feel. These synthetic images are created by artificial intelligence that learns from real photos and then invents new ones.

Science claims to be all about facts. But when it comes to race and health, some old ideas keep sneaking back in. Many studies still group people by race like it’s a biological fact—not a social label. That causes real problems. For example, medicine treats Black patients differently just because of
