Researchers to examine fairness of AI

The fairness of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is being researched by the national institute for data science – the Alan Turing Institute, Queen Mary University London, and the Turing-Roche partnership.

It is hoped the findings will highlight what areas need to be addressed in the design and use of AI tools and help shape future developments in the field.

Pressure group the Patients Association said the researchers were particularly keen to hear from people suffering from multiple long-term conditions who have interacted with the healthcare service, and people from underrepresented and discriminated communities.
