The National Science Foundation awarded a $625,000 project grant to the President And Fellows Of Harvard College from July 2021 through June 2024 under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070). The grant funds the "Foundations of Fair AI in Medicine: Ensuring the Fair Use of Patient Attributes" project. This project aims to support investigator-initiated research and education on developing and applying fair artificial intelligence techniques that do not discriminate based on patient attributes like gender or ethnicity in medical applications. The research is focused on establishing foundational principles to ensure AI systems used for medical purposes consider all patients equitably. The results of this work should help advance the development and use of fair and unbiased AI to enable and accelerate discovery and innovation in healthcare.
