UNU-IIGH's Claudia Abreu Lopes (@cabreulopes) and Johanna Riha (@johanna_riha), with Teresa Farinha (@TeresaFarinha2), recently published in ISPIโs report โ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐๐ก๐ฎ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐พ๐ง๐ค๐ฌ๐: ๐๐ก๐ช๐๐๐๐ ๐ค๐ง ๐๐๐ข๐ค๐ฉ๐? ๐๐ก๐ค๐๐๐ก ๐พ๐๐ฉ๐๐๐จ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ก๐ก๐๐ฃ๐๐ ๐ค๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ค๐ง๐ โ a policy research article assessing how opportunities introduced by emerging digital technologies need to be balanced with mitigation of important risks. As automation of routine tasks and AI-augmented decision-making may enhance efficiency and reduce administrative burden, such positive outcomes cannot be understood separately from the risks of potential job displacement, as well as the intensification of care extractivism that reproduces structures of gendered, racialised, and class-based hierarchisation and exploitation.
The authors explore how the integration of AI technologies in the health sector, requires understanding the uniqueness of human labour and their capacity for adaptation. To ensure that digital technologies complement, rather than replace, human expertise, several conditions need to be met, such as inclusive upskilling, equity-focused governance, and localised implementation strategies.
