Addressing racial and ethnic inequities in data-driven health technologies

This report highlights the opportunities and barriers for artificial intelligence to improve the health of the UK ’s minority ethnic groups. Data-driven technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) are powerful tools demonstrating potential in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as skin cancer. Yet these could inadvertently worsen the health inequalities experienced by minority ethnic groups if cur rent challenges such as biased algorithms, poor data collection and a lack of diversity in research and development are not urgently addressed. The report calls for further research and transparent discussion on the creation and use of these technologies in health care.ReportPress release
