| Abstract | Infectious diseases continue to pose a significant global
health challenge, necessitating innovative approaches for predicting
outbreaks, detecting variants, conducting contact tracing, discovering
new drugs and managing misinformation. Artificial intelligence (AI) has
significantly supported work in these areas, particularly during the
COVID-19 pandemic. However, the benefits of AI must be equitably
distributed, and its use must be responsible and inclusive. As various
nations implement AI regulations, the global nature of AI necessitates
international collaboration to establish ethical guidelines and
governance frameworks. In response to these needs, the Global South AI
for Pandemic & Epidemic Preparedness & Response Network (AI4PEP)
is leading a multinational effort across 16 countries to strengthen
public health systems through responsible, Southern-led AI solutions.
This opinion piece highlights AI4PEP's initiatives in Latin America and
the Caribbean (LAC), examining the region's AI governance models and the
challenges they present. By lowering barriers to AI adoption and
fostering equitable access to AI-driven public health innovations, our
network empowers researchers, healthcare professionals and policymakers
in LAC to harness AI for infectious disease preparedness and response,
ultimately improving health outcomes in low- and middle-income
countries. |
