Abstract

This article discusses how artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to reduce inequities in healthcare. It explores various AI tools that can make a significant impact on health inequities, such as identifying at-risk patients, overcoming communication barriers, addressing differences in access to resources, reducing the impact of human biases, and increasing diversity in clinical trials. The article emphasizes the importance of placing equity at the heart of AI growth and aligning financial incentives with equity. It concludes that AI has the potential to improve healthcare for all patients, especially the most disadvantaged, but careful consideration and strategic changes are necessary to ensure that AI tools are designed with equity in mind.
