Download E-book from Top of Mind Exchange virtual roundtable, which captures key discussion points from senior leaders in health care data science and artificial intelligence
The Center for Connected Medicine hosted an invitation-only, virtual roundtable discussion for senior leaders in health care to raise needs, share progress, and partake in candid conversation on the ability of AI and machine learning to improve health disparities.
The virtual roundtable, “Top of Mind Exchange: AI/ML and Structural Bias in Health Care,” was held November 17, 2020. Robert M. Califf, MD, Head of Clinical Policy and Strategy for Verily and Google Health, delivered opening remarks and facilitated this important and timely conversation.
“We’re starting with an uneven playing field in the U.S. that greatly advantages people who have money and education and preferentially advantages white people and in which rural people are at a
tremendous disadvantage,” Dr. Califf said. “So, the question for us is, are we going to build algorithms that correct this or are we going to further segment the population?”
