UNU-IIGH's Claudia Abreu Lopes (@cabreulopes) and Johanna Riha (@johanna_riha), with Teresa Farinha (@TeresaFarinha2), recently published in ISPI’s report “𝙇𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙧𝙤𝙬𝙙: 𝙋𝙡𝙪𝙜𝙜𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙧 𝙍𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙚? 𝙂𝙡𝙤𝙗𝙖𝙡 𝘾𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙝𝙮𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙙 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠” a policy research article assessing how opportunities introduced by emerging digital technologies need to be balanced with mitigation of important risks. As automation of routine tasks and AI-augmented decision-making may enhance efficiency and reduce administrative burden, such positive outcomes cannot be understood separately from the risks of potential job displacement, as well as the intensification of care extractivism that reproduces structures of gendered, racialised, and class-based hierarchisation and exploitation. The authors explore how the integration of AI technologies in the health sector, requires understanding the uniqueness of human labour and their capacity for adaptation. To ensure that digital technologies complement, rather than replace, human expertise, several conditions need to be met, such as inclusive upskilling, equity-focused governance, and localised implementation strategies.
