Session 1: Equity & Ethics for AI in Healthcare

Wednesday, March 4th: 11:30 am- 1 pm 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is taking over the world… but is it good for our health? In this presentation participants will learn the benefits and ethical boundaries regarding AI. Utilizing an anti-racism praxis, we will unpack how racism was laced in the learning models of these machines, the racist environmental impact, and the ethical implications for historically excluded and strategically undervalued populations. How does this technology help and harm BIPOC patients and entire communities? How can public health professionals infuse this equitable awareness into improving social determinants of health?
