Explainability Is Not the Solution to Structural Challenges to AI in Medicine

Explainability is often treated as a necessary condition for ethical applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in Medicine. In this brief talk I survey some of the structural challenges facing the development and deployment of effective AI systems in health care to illustrate some of the limitations to explainability in addressing these challenges. This talk builds on prior work (London 2019, 2022) to illustrate how ambitions for AI in health care likely require significant changes to key aspects of health systems.

Melissa McCradden, PhD, MHSc
Director of AI in Medicine

On the Inextricability of Explainability from Ethics: Explainable AI does not Ethical AI Make

Explainability is embedded into a plethora of legal, professional, and regulatory guidelines as it is often presumed that an ethical use of AI will require explainable algorithms. There is considerable controversy, however, as to whether post hoc explanations are computationally reliable, their value for decision-making, and the relational implications of their use in shared decision-making. This talk will explore the literature across these domains and argue that while post hoc explainability may be a reasonable technical goal, it should not be offered status as a moral standard by which AI use is judged to be ‘ethical.’

LHS Collaboratory November Session

Speaker:

Kadija Ferryman, PhD
Assistant Professor
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

In this talk, Professor Ferryman will discuss the merits and challenges of conducting health equity reviews of artificial intelligence (AI) tools used in health and medicine. The talk will examine how interdisciplinary approaches from the social sciences, bioethics and humanities, and computational fields can be involved in the development of concepts, methods, frameworks, and guidelines for understanding and governing digital health tools.

Dr. Kadija Ferryman is a cultural anthropologist who studies the social, cultural, and ethical implications of health information technologies. Specifically, her research examines how genomics, digital medical records, artificial intelligence, and other technologies impact racial disparities in health. As a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Data & Society Research Institute in New York, she led the Fairness in Precision Medicine research study, which examines the potential for bias and discrimination in predictive precision medicine.

She earned a BA in Anthropology from Yale University, and a PhD in Anthropology from The New School for Social Research. Before completing her PhD, she was a policy researcher at the Urban Institute where she studied how housing and neighborhoods impact well-being, specifically the effects of public housing redevelopment on children, families, and older adults.

RCGD Winter Seminar Series: The Color of Power: The Evolving Relationship Between Race, Skin Color and Power in American Politics (February 6, 2023 3:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/103469 103469-21807301@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, February 6, 2023 3:30pm
Location: Institute For Social Research
Organized By: Research Center for Group Dynamics (RCGD)

Mara Ostfeld, Gerald R. Form School of Public Policy; Center for Political Studies, University of Michigan

The Color of Power: The Evolving Relationship Between Race, Skin Color and Power in American Politics

Skin color matters. Within and across ethnoracial groups, skin color affects life experiences, including one’s financial earnings, educational opportunities, health outcomes, exposure to discrimination, interactions with the criminal justice system, and sense of group belonging. While political coalitions in the U.S. have historically revolved around ethnoracial identities, Dr. Ostfeld draws on her book (co-authored with Nicole Yadon) to argue that skin color is an increasingly important component of how people are identifying themselves and staking positions in American racial politics.

The U.S. is experiencing unprecedented levels of political polarization relative to the past few decades, especially in terms of affective polarization, or feelings of dislike and distrust towards members of the opposing political party. In this winter talk series, we will hear from experts across disciplines (social psychology, political science, sociology, communication) in order to better understand why political polarization is so high and what, if anything, can we do about it.

RCGD Seminars will be held at ISR Thompson 1430. Events will be recorded. Graduate seminars precede the events from 2-3:30. To meet with external speakers or to find out more about these events, contact Rachael Hamilton at rachaelr@umich.edu.

Clinical and translational investigators need patient data, especially from electronic health record (EHR) systems, to conduct research, but optimal approaches are unknown. This talk explores an approach for supporting different types of investigators and study designs by matching investigators with informatics tools and services.

The number of children living in multigenerational households has increased steadily since the 1980s. As of 2021, more than 10% of children (roughly 7.5 million) share a home with two or more generations. While the stays may be relatively short, overall, about 30% of children in the United States will live in a multigenerational or skipped-generation household at some point during their childhood. This is even more common for children of color and for those whose adult family members are low income. In this webinar, panelists will examine the scope of the issue and its implications for child well-being and security, as well as opportunities for policy and practice to support these children and their adult household members

- Natasha Pilkauskas, Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy; Poverty Solutions; University of Michigan
- J. Michael Collins, School of Human Ecology, University of Wisconsin–Madison
- LaShawnDa Pittman, Department of American Ethnic Studies, University of Washington
