Abstract
This commentary explores the critical roles of health equity and ethical considerations in the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) in public health and medicine. As AI increasingly permeates these fields, it promises substantial benefits but also poses risks that could exacerbate existing disparities and ethical challenges. This commentary delves into the current integration of AI technologies, underscores the importance of ethical social responsibility, and discusses the implications for practice and policy. Recommendations are provided to ensure AI advancements are leveraged responsibly, promoting equitable health outcomes and adhering to rigorous ethical standards across all populations.
