N C Med J. 2019 Jul-Aug;80(4):219-223. doi: 10.18043/ncm.80.4.219.

Abstract

As the health care industry adopts artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other modeling techniques, it is seeing benefits to both patient outcomes and cost reduction; however, it needs to be cognizant of and ensure proper management of the risks, including bias. Lessons learned from other industries may provide a framework for acknowledging and managing data, machine, and human biases that arise while implementing AI.
