AI holds great promise for improving the delivery of healthcare and medicine worldwide, but only if ethics and human rights are put at the heart of its design, deployment, and use, according to new WHO guidance published today. It is WHO’s first global report on AI in health and presents six principles to ensure AI works for the public interest in all countries.

The report, Ethics and governance of artificial intelligence for health, is the result of 2 years of consultations held by a panel of international experts appointed by WHO. Jeroen van den Hoven is a member of this expert group. TPM researcher Juan Duran is one of the reviewers.
