AIM-AHEAD ABC-EE Program
Purpose
The AIM-AHEAD ABC-EE Program centers around reducing health disparities within the health system, and health research enterprise is essential. Critical to this process is recognizing the need to engage patients and research participants, as well as their families and communities, understand concerns, work to identify the ethical issues at stake in AI/ML research, and develop strategies to ensure that these issues are identified and addressed at every step in the design, development, and use of AI/ML in healthcare and research.
Participants
This program supports teams at any stage of development, including those creating and/or validating frameworks for reasoning about the creation of AI/ML tools, on application of such tools in biomedical or behavioral health research, and on their translation into clinical care in a socially responsible manner. Topics of interest for this program include but are not limited to: the co-creation of data and/or AI/ML tools with target populations; the development of privacy enhancing technologies to support the collection, sharing, and/or use of such diverse data in AI/ML; and investigations into the trustworthiness and reliability of AI/ML, including emerging technologies such as generative AI and chatbots.
