Artificial Intelligence and global health: opportunities and challenges
Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers unprecedented opportunities and challenges for humanity. If AI can be positioned and leveraged correctly, it can rapidly accelerate progress on achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG #3: 'Ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages'. Achieving this goal could have a transformative impact on global health. An ethical, transparent and responsible approach to AI development will result in AI translating data into contextually relevant knowledge, conclusions, and impactful actions.
Keywords: artificial intelligence; bias; ethics; human rights; machine learning; social and cultural.
