On December 15, I spent the morning talking with health care leaders about how the industry can avoid racial bias in artificial intelligence, or AI. We were in Washington D.C. for the Annual Meeting of ONC — the federal Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. ONC is one of the federal regulators in charge of creating rules around health care AI, and this meeting brought together about 1,600 leaders from government and industry. I moderated three conversations on stage between federal regulators and top industry executives. The goal was to explore how the two sides — regulators and the companies they regulate — can work together to achieve a shared goal: reduce bias in health care AI. Today, one of those conversations featuring the head of ONC and a top executive at Oracle Health.
