Big data and artificial intelligence are key elements in the medical field as they are expected to improve accuracy and efficiency in diagnosis and treatment, particularly in identifying biomedically relevant patterns, facilitating progress towards individually tailored preventative and therapeutic interventions. These applications belong to current research practice that is data-intensive. While the combination of imaging, pathological, genomic, and clinical data is needed to train algorithms to realize the full potential of these technologies, biobanks often serve as crucial infrastructures for data-sharing and data flows.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers are working on polygenic risk scores to help prevent and treat diseases like breast cancer, type 2 diabetes, and coronary heart disease, using machine learning and AI techniques.
  • While AI could improve the accuracy of these scores, it also raises significant ethical concerns that have not been thoroughly addressed in existing literature.
  • The paper emphasizes the need for urgent attention to ethical considerations in the research and application of AI-driven polygenic risk scores, highlighting issues of fairness, trust, regulation, and the complexity of understanding these technologies.

For life science infrastructures, sensitive data generate an additional layer of complexity. Cross-domain categorisation and discovery of digital resources related to sensitive data presents major interoperability challenges. To support this FAIRification process, a toolbox demonstrator aiming at support for discovery of digital objects related to sensitive data (e.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is being applied in medicine to improve healthcare and advance health equity. The application of AI-based technologies in radiology is expected to improve diagnostic performance by increasing accuracy and simplifying personalized decision-making. While this technology has the potential to improve health services, many ethical and societal implications need to be carefully considered to avoid harmful consequences for individuals and groups, especially for the most vulnerable populations.
