Abstract
Objective
Understanding and quantifying biases when designing and implementing actionable approaches to increase fairness and inclusion is critical for artificial intelligence (AI) in biomedical applications.
Methods
In this Special Communication, we discuss how bias is introduced at different stages of the development and use of AI applications in biomedical sciences and health care. We describe various AI applications and their implications for fairness and inclusion in sections on 1) Bias in Data Source Landscapes, 2) Algorithmic Fairness, 3) Uncertainty in AI Predictions, 4) Explainable AI for Fairness and Equity, and 5) Sociological/Ethnographic Issues in Data and Results Representation.
Results
We provide recommendations to address biases when developing and using AI in clinical applications.
Conclusion
These recommendations can be applied to informatics research and practice to foster more equitable and inclusive health care systems and research discoveries.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Biomedical Informatics reflects a commitment to high-quality original research papers, reviews, and commentaries in the area of biomedical informatics methodology. Although we publish articles motivated by applications in the biomedical sciences (for example, clinical medicine, health care, population health, and translational bioinformatics), the journal emphasizes reports of new methodologies and techniques that have general applicability and that form the basis for the evolving science of biomedical informatics. Articles on medical devices; evaluations of implemented systems (including clinical trials of information technologies); or papers that provide insight into a biological process, a specific disease, or treatment options would generally be more suitable for publication in other venues. Papers on applications of signal processing and image analysis are often more suitable for biomedical engineering journals or other informatics journals, although we do publish papers that emphasize the information management and knowledge representation/modeling issues that arise in the storage and use of biological signals and images. System descriptions are welcome if they illustrate and substantiate the underlying methodology that is the principal focus of the report and an effort is made to address the generalizability and/or range of application of that methodology. Note also that, given the international nature of JBI, papers that deal with specific languages other than English, or with country-specific health systems or approaches, are acceptable for JBI only if they offer generalizable lessons that are relevant to the broad JBI readership, regardless of their country, language, culture, or health system.
