Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in medicine to improve diagnosis and treatment of diseases, and to avoid unnecessary screening for patients. But AI medical devices could also harm patients and worsen health inequities if they are not designed, tested, and used with care, according to an international task force that included a University of […]
Pursuing fair artificial intelligence (AI) for healthcare requires collaboration between experts across disci-plines, says a global team of scientists led by Duke-NUS Medical School in a new perspective published in npj Digital Medicine.
