Adversarial Fragility and Language Vulnerability in Clinical AI: A Systematic Audit of Diagnostic Collapse Under Imperceptible Perturbations and Cross-Lingual Drift in Low-Resource Healthcare Settings

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2605.16993v1 Announce Type: cross Current clinical artificial intelligence (AI) systems are evaluated almost exclusively on clean, standardised, English-language inputs, conditions that do not reflect the realities of healthcare delivery in low-resource settings. This study presents the first systematic dual audit of two orthogonal safety vulnerabilities in clinical AI: adversarial image fragility and cross-lingual diagnostic drift.
