The promises & perils of using AI to address health equity

PAC hosted an On the Record (OTR) / Off the Record (OTR) conversation with Kenya Beckmann, Chief Philanthropy and Health Equity Officer of Providence, South Division, and Warris Bokhari, CEO and Co-Founder of Claimable.

Moderated by PAC founder Mary Beth Snodgrass, our ‘On the Record’ conversation focused on how a large health system and a digital health startup are leveraging AI to address health equity, touching on these timely topics:

• Importance of designing solutions that are less reactive and more considerate of underserved patients

• Health inequity is often about time, e.g., processes taking too long

• Negative effects of algorithms containing hidden or difficult-to-detect biases

• Role of governance and vigilance in designing AI solutions

• AI innovation that's moving the needle on health equity
