AI Platforms as Global Governance for the Health Ecosystem: The Future’s Global Hospital provides comprehensive and actionable approaches for readers to understand and optimize responsible AI as global governance for the healthcare ecosystem. Written from the first-hand perspective of a practicing physician-data scientist and AI ethicist, the book maps out how to develop successful governance for AI platforms. The book explores how AI platforms can transform hospitals and clinical practice by digitally unifying patients, providers, and payors, advancing healthcare for all. This book defines and explains the main hurdles and technical innovations in responsibly governing AI platforms for efficient, equitable, and sustainable global healthcare. It explores the history, science, politics, economics, ethics, policy, as well as the future of these AI platforms, and how governance efforts can work toward the common good.
- Provides readers with an ecosystem perspective of the impact of AI and other technologies on healthcare
- Presents a unified map for leveraging AI platforms to accelerate effective human- centered global governance of healthcare data
- Demonstrates the main hurdles and technical innovations in responsibly governing AI platforms for efficient, equitable, and sustainable global health
