Responding to concerns about bias, fairness, and equity in the use of AI applications in healthcare, the Coalition for Health AI in collaboration with Duke AI Health, Mayo Clinic, The MITRE Corporation, and Partnership on AI, and with support from The Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation, convened a group of subject matter experts to work together across healthcare and other industries.
With this overarching goal in mind, the objective of this Virtual Session was to develop our
collective understanding of the definitions, important considerations, and open questions for the
concepts of equity, bias, and fairness in health. This Virtual Session included a series of three
lightning talk presentations and group discussions centered on preselected use cases, and a set of
breakout sessions that addressed the following themes: Health Equity by Design; Bias and Fairness
Processes and Metrics; and Impacting Marginalized Groups: Mitigation Strategies for Data,
Model, and Application Bias.
