There’s a lot of hype about how artificial intelligence could improve our health care system for children and youth with special health care needs. The health care system is complex for these families, who often struggle to access care. AI is trained on data from our health care system as it exists, which means the data is contaminated by racial, economic, and regional disparities. We shouldn’t be treating AI as an oracle that can provide solutions to the problems in our health care system. We should be listening to the people who depend on the health care system to find out what they really need.
