Remy Ma released a new track widely believed to target boxer Claressa Shields, built around a repeated line where the rapper stacks the words Clarence and clearance back to back, a nickname trolls have used against Shields blended with a running theme about secondhand fashion versus buying things brand new.

Yes, but the technology itself is not a solution to health disparities. Artificial intelligence could help Black communities receive earlier screenings, better follow-up care and more personalized health support, but researchers warn that AI can also reproduce the racial inequities already embedded in health care data and systems.
