Tackling algorithmic bias and promoting transparency in health datasets: the STANDING Together consensus recommendations
Without careful dissection of the ways in which biases can be encoded into artificial intelligence (AI) health technologies, there is a risk of perpetuating existing health inequalities at scale. One major source of bias is the data that underpins such technologies. The STANDING Together recommendations aim to encourage transparency regarding limitations of health datasets and proactive evaluation of their effect across population groups. Draft recommendation items were informed by a systematic review and stakeholder survey.

The biomedical informatics community is uniquely positioned to lead this transformative effort. 🩺💻 #MLSky
Conceptual model for an AI code of conduct (AICC), emphasizing the translation of various sociotechnical foundations for modern AI into generalizable and technology or technique-agnostic principles, which are actualized as a set of reinforcing behaviors, rules, and shared expectations. Abbreviations: AI, artificial intelligence; AICC, artificial intelligence code of conduct.

Billions of dollars have been invested in healthcare AI. But are we spending in the right places?
The presence of AI in healthcare is rapidly growing – but resource allocation will determine whether the technology has a positive impact.
