• How can AI/ML be applied in health settings to improve health equity?
• How can bias be introduced to AI/ML?
• What are some real world examples of how some AI/ML tools have inadvertently
deepened health disparities?
• How can the community be involved in co-creating equitable AI/ML tools?
• What is AIM–AHEAD?
• What are some opportunities for collaboration?

WHY: The AIM–AHEAD Coordinating Center was established to enhance diversity in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), with emphasis on reducing health disparities and promoting health equity. We hope to achieve this by engaging in a fair, equitable, and transparent process of building a consortium of AI/ML to promote health equity and an inclusive and diverse workforce. Many communities have untapped potential to contribute new expertise, data, recruitment strategies, and cutting-edge science to the AI/ ML field. AIM–AHEAD Coordinating Center seeks to increase participation and engagement through mutually beneficial partnerships, stakeholder engagement, and outreach to advance
health equity.
