Generative AI can entrench equitable healthcare, but academics and healthcare professionals urge caution
The next generation of ethical generative artificial intelligence provides new hope for more equitable healthcare, but advances in technology must never come at the cost of patient rights., a social impact business that supports private and public health sectors, NGOs and governments in 30 countries to deliver better healthcare.
Ruan Viljoen, chief technology officer, BroadReach Group, adds, “I believe the biggest challenge is still health inequity – healthcare access can vary depending on race, location, or age.” “We call these ‘Role Specific Domain Models’ and they have the potential to be programmed to know everything about a particular disease, to better guide healthcare professionals on how to treat patients. This is a tremendously exciting prospect in the mission to end new HIV infections by 2030.”
“There is a perception that there are no regulations for the use of AI in healthcare, but to assume we are operating in the wild west is not true. International bodies are sharing guidelines and regulation is slowly evolving - including in Africa. Egypt, Rwanda, and Mauritius already have strong AI policies,” says Singh.
