WHO published - “The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights”. It states that the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) confers both possibilities and challenges. AI technologies can improve access to SRHR information and services, but they also raise issues about privacy, data security, and equity.
This technical brief provides a review of how AI is being applied in SRHR, including its use in health information dissemination, screening and diagnosis, treatment and care management, personal health monitoring, understanding health trends, health system management, and clinical research and drug discovery.
Highlights from the role of artificial intelligence in sexual and reproductive health and rights Report
- AI is being utilized to provide access to health information, education, and promotion, as well as to aid screening, diagnosis, treatment, care management, health monitoring, health trend analysis, health system management, and clinical research in SRHR.
- The usage of AI in SRHR causes ethical, legal, and human rights dilemmas, particularly concerning data governance, misinformation, data breaches, bias, digital disparity, and cultural sensitivity.
- To describe the dilemma related to AI in SRHR, policymakers, and stakeholders are stimulated to revisit data protection regulations, combat misinformation, promote inclusivity and diversity in AI datasets, and create mutual oversight mechanisms to secure responsible AI deployment.
- The imbalance in retrieving technology and linguistic diversity creates difficulties in the fair implementation of AI in SRHR, requiring modified approaches and inclusive methods.
- AI has an enormous possibility of facilitating SRHR, its implementation must be led by principles of ethics, equity, and human rights to ensure positive outcomes for all individuals.
