Table 3. Four scenarios of alignment between algorithmic fairness and health equity.
AI solution advances health equity | AI solution fails to advance health equity | |
---|---|---|
AI solution addresses all algorithmic fairness concerns on historical data | Scenario A (Aligned: Fair algorithm promoting health equity) |
Scenario B (Unaligned: Fair algorithm worsening health equity) |
AI solution fails to address algorithmic fairness concerns on historical data | Scenario C (Unaligned: Unfair algorithm promoting health equity) |
Scenario D (Aligned: Unfair algorithm worsening health equity) |
