Abstract

PUBLISHED: 30 May 2023 Big data, data science and artificial intelligence (AI) in research hold enormous potential to improve health and the quality of life for all. However, when harnessing benefit from new digital technologies, a major concern is to minimise harm. Inherent bias in historical data presents a major threat to the veracity of data and the impact thereof on algorithms, machine learning and, ultimately, AI.
