Healthcare for All? Balancing Innovation and Equity Using AI
AI is poised to reshape healthcare, promising to lower costs and expand access through remote monitoring and teleconsultations.

Biased datasets and flawed algorithms can perpetuate disparities, disproportionately impacting minority populations and the global south. How can we proactively mitigate AI's risks in healthcare, and what actionable strategies will guarantee equitable access to its benefits?
