Data science and artificial intelligence (AI) are poised to upend the way healthcare is delivered. But what happens when AI is trained on medical data that doesn’t reflect the population? A new semester-long course teaches high school students how embedded bias in machine learning affects healthcare discussions and decisions. The goals of the Data Science, AI, and You in Healthcare project include fostering community connections between educators, researchers, clinicians, and local stakeholders to prepare underrepresented students for STEM jobs—ultimately in fields where their background and experience can help mitigate bias embedded within AI healthcare models and improve outcomes for all.
