Abstract
PUBLISHED: 30 May 2023 Big data, data science and artificial intelligence (AI) in research hold enormous potential to improve health and the quality of life for all. However, when harnessing benefit from new digital technologies, a major concern is to minimise harm. Inherent bias in historical data presents a major threat to the veracity of data and the impact thereof on algorithms, machine learning and, ultimately, AI.
期刊介绍：
The South African Journal of Science is a multidisciplinary journal published bimonthly by the Academy of Science of South Africa. Our mandate is to publish original research with an interdisciplinary or regional focus, which will interest readers from more than one discipline, and to provide a forum for discussion of news and developments in research and higher education. Authors are requested to write their papers and reports in a manner and style that is intelligible to specialists and non-specialists alike. Research contributions, which are peer reviewed, are of three kinds: Review Articles, Research Articles and Research Letters.
