PLOS Global Public Health, 2024, vol. 4, issue 1, 1-4

Abstract: This opinion article discusses the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on global health, addressing its potential risks and benefits to the field. It suggests that, given the existential risks of AI development, the global health community must contribute to AI-related advances, ensuring health equity and the wellbeing of vulnerable populations. Through transdisciplinary collaborations, robust AI governance, and an emphasis on equity, strategies are proposed to harness the potential of AI to reduce health inequalities and improve wellbeing at global and local levels.
