Through its Responsible and Ethical AI for Healthcare Lab, the Centre will provide insights into real-world AI implementation challenges.
WHO officials stress that this collaboration will support member states in navigating AI’s opportunities while ensuring transparency, trust, and innovation in digital health.
The initiative underscores WHO’s commitment to evidence-based AI governance, ensuring AI benefits public health ethically and equitably.
