Just published! A very interesting document by Pan American Health Organization about the use of #AI in #PublicHealth and I find valuable the guiding principles of use among other topics I hope to review and comment later. I like the #Ethics of those statements:
1. People-centered: This principle emphasizes the importance of placing individuals at the forefront of AI interventions, ensuring that actions and solutions prioritize the well-being and rights of each person involved.
2. Ethically grounded: This principle underscores the necessity of aligning discussions, developments, and implementations with globally recognized ethical principles such as human dignity, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice, to ensure ethical considerations guide AI applications in public health.
3. Transparent: Transparency is a key principle, emphasizing the need to develop AI algorithms using clear and open approaches that are communicated effectively, allowing stakeholders to understand the processes and outcomes involved.
4. Data-protected: This principle highlights the critical importance of prioritizing privacy, confidentiality, and data security in all stages of AI development to safeguard sensitive health information and maintain trust in AI-enabled public health initiatives.
5. Demonstrates scientific integrity: AI interventions should adhere to robust scientific standards, including reliability, reproducibility, fairness, honesty, and accountability, to ensure credibility, accuracy, and effectiveness in public health applications.
6. Open and shareable: This principle promotes openness and sharing of tools and concepts in AI development, emphasizing the value of transparency, collaboration, and the accessibility of AI technologies to foster innovation and progress in public health.
7. Nondiscriminatory: This principle emphasizes the need for fairness, equality, and inclusiveness in the impact and design of AI interventions, highlighting the importance of mitigating biases and ensuring equitable access to healthcare resources and services.
8. Human-controlled technology: This principle advocates for formal processes that enable human oversight and review of automated decisions made by AI systems, ensuring accountability, oversight, and ethical governance in the use of AI for public health initiatives.
