Collaborative Governance for Ethical and Trustworthy AI in Healthcare: A Lifecycle Perspective

Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping healthcare worldwide, offering opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and deliver more personalized care. These advances could greatly benefit British Columbia (BC) by enhancing healthcare access, particularly in remote or underserved areas. However, without strong safeguards, AI systems may fall short in reliability, fairness, and accountability, resulting in uneven outcomes and inadequate oversight. My research focuses on building ethical and governance frameworks to guide the use of AI in healthcare. I am committed to developing tools that are inclusive, ethically designed, and equitable. By working closely with researchers, policymakers, and communities, I aim to create ethical guidelines and public policies that uphold transparency, fairness, and public trust. This mission is even more urgent as global calls for AI deregulation grow, risking weakened safeguards and accountability. My work addresses these challenges by ensuring that AI innovations align with global ethical standards while advancing BC’s healthcare system. Together, we can shape a future where AI is not only effective but also trustworthy, fair, and beneficial for everyone.
