Will AI tools revolutionize public health? Not if they continue following old patterns, researchers argue

Artificial intelligence (AI) is making its way into the healthcare sector, promising to revolutionize the way we manage health systems. However, concerns about privacy, bias, and transparency have raised alarm bells about the potential negative impacts of AI in healthcare.

UC Santa Cruz Politics Department doctoral candidate Lucia Vitale, along with University of British Columbia doctoral candidate Leah Shipton, conducted a thorough analysis of the current trajectory of AI in healthcare. Their research highlights the need for a careful approach to the development and deployment of AI tools in healthcare.

While AI has the potential to improve healthcare delivery by managing resources efficiently and enhancing diagnostic capabilities, there are also risks associated with its implementation. The concentration of AI ownership and profit in high-income countries could lead to exploitation of low- to middle-income countries for data extraction and experimentation. Additionally, lax regulatory approaches may prioritize industry incentives over equitable access to new treatments.

Vitale and Shipton emphasize the importance of regulating AI in healthcare to ensure that it aligns with the public interest. By implementing the right safeguards, AI can be directed towards addressing healthcare challenges and improving access to care. However, without proper governance, AI tools may exacerbate existing issues such as health worker shortages and inequitable access to care.

To maximize the benefits of AI in healthcare while minimizing potential harms, Vitale and Shipton call for a clear agenda and framework for the ethical governance of AI health technologies. This includes collaboration with organizations like the World Health Organization and major public-private partnerships to ensure that AI projects are aligned with public health priorities.

In conclusion, the future of AI in healthcare hinges on how it is regulated and deployed. By taking a proactive approach to governance, we can harness the potential of AI to transform healthcare delivery and address pressing public health challenges.
