Free Webinar: AI for Health Equity: Benefits versus Risks illustration

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a major part of our lives. With new AI tools to improve healthcare and public health practice, the potential harms of AI to our environment, social connections, and health communications landscape, AI can impose health risks as well. This webinar invites participants to reflect on their beliefs, hopes, and fears related to AI in health equity work. Together, we’ll explore the benefits and risks of AI in health equity while engaging with anti-racism, feminist approaches, environmental justice, and ethics. 

What You’ll Gain:

  • Perspectives from Cross‑Sector Leaders: Hear from experienced voices across sectors as they reflect on challenges, lessons learned, and approaches for ethical use of AI in health equity work.
  • Shared Reflection and Forward‑Looking Action: Engage with ideas for balancing the benefits and risks of AI in health equity work at individual, sectoral, and cross‑sector levels.

 

Key Objectives:

  •  Reflect on Progress: Revisit key insights from Q3 learning activities, including dialogues, interactive sessions, and workshops.
  • Surface Barriers: Explore existing and emerging challenges for AI use in health equity efforts.
  • Identify Strategies: Discuss community-centered actionable approaches for using AI in health equity work or choosing to fight against the implications of AI use.
  • Strengthen Collaboration: Consider how cross‑sector partnerships can help sustain momentum and support long‑term health equity efforts.

 

Join us for a thoughtful conversation focused on how to move forward together.
