Amidst optimism about AI's potential in the public sector, procurement is a key lever for ensuring it is fit for purpose and has public legitimacy.

Our research finds that local government lacks adequate support to procure AI in the public interest.

Great to see our @AdaLovelaceInst expertise, with evidence from @ApleCollective & @HealthFdn inequalities research. Not all digital exclusion is bcoz of people: infrastructure not designed well = not working = increase inequalities. @Anna_Colom @annastudman

[AS @agstrait]

We've been down this road before, and should be skeptical about an unproven technical system's ability to improve health inequalities. Our research has found its not that simple - particularly for a technology that routinely generates false info.

I've started a spreadsheet to collate critique of the Cass Review. It's here:

As well as links and a brief summary of each, I've included a bit of a classification of the critique being made. #CassFlaws

The Government has responded to the Independent Review on Equity in Medical Devices, launched in 2022 and published yesterday.

We welcome the report, which resonates with insights from our research with @HealthFdn, and the Government's acceptance of its main conclusions.🧵(1/5)

How is #AI reshaping healthcare research?

From bias in datasets to accelerating drug discovery, three experts share their views on the positives and negatives.

Very excited this is out today - our work with @ApleCollective exploring how digital health services interact with existing health inequalities, centring the perspectives of people who have experience of inequalities.

[Ada Lovelace Institute @AdaLovelaceInst]

📢How do health inequalities impact on people with lived experience of poverty and health concerns when using digital health services?

Ada and the @HealthFdn's new report summarises findings from our participatory research project.

[Ada Lovelace Institute @AdaLovelaceInst]

📢What are the implications of the increasing convergence of AI and genomics for policymakers?

Ada and @Nuffbioethics' new report sets out our early findings on the ethical and political economy issues arising from AI-powered genomics.

[APLE Collective @ApleCollective]

We partnered with @AdaLovelaceInst to explore the impact of data-driven healthcare on existing inequalities. Peer researchers shaped the research, ensuring it was relevant to the experiences of those who were most affected. #APLEMonth2023

The first episode of #SystemsOfHarm is now live 🎉

My first guest is the wonderful @movie_pundit. We talk about how bias infiltrates design systems, and how we can counteract it and create more inclusive systems.

Very excited that our report on data-driven systems and health inequalities is out today!

We look at the knots in the data pipeline that can lead to systemic inequalities, and explore how ppl working with data can respond to these challenges🪢

[Ada Lovelace Institute @AdaLovelaceInst]

📢Ada and the @HealthFdn's new report calls for everyone involved in the commissioning, design, development and use of data and data-driven systems in health and social care to take a people-centred approach.

More Koji content because he is surely the timeline cleanse we all need right now.

We asked him to say cheese and he countered that he would only do so if provided with cheese. Koji asks, Koji gets.
