Abstract

The role and use of race within health-related artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) models has sparked increasing attention and controversy. Despite the complexity and breadth of related issues, a robust and holistic framework to guide stakeholders in their examination and resolution remains lacking. This perspective provides a broad-based, systematic, and cross-cutting landscape analysis of race-related challenges, structured around the AI/ML lifecycle and framed through "points to consider" to support inquiry and decision-making.
