A review of AI and health equity articles found that only 13% explicitly defined health equity, raising concerns that AI tools may favor already advantaged groups. The study, led by Caroline R. Efird of Georgetown University, was published on Oct. 8, 2026 in Health Affairs Scholar. Efird, an assistant professor in Georgetown’s Department of Health Management and Policy, discussed the implications of the limited definition in the review. The research highlights a gap that could affect the equitable deployment of AI in healthcare.
