The Trump Administration Will Automate Health Inequities: By gatekeeping health data, the AI Action Plan risks hardwiring bias into the future of American medicine.


By gatekeeping health data, the AI Action Plan risks hardwiring bias into the future of American medicine.

Its sweeping ambitions for AI—rolling back safeguards, fast-tracking “ private-sector-led innovation,” and banning “ideological dogmas such as DEI” —will have long-term consequences for how medicine is practiced, how public health is governed, and who gets left behind. And if governments narrow what counts as legitimate health data and research as AI models are built into medical practice, the blind spots won’t just persist; they’ll compound and calcify into the standards of care. And a recent executive order gives political appointees control over research grants, including the power to cancel those that don’t “advance the President’s policy priorities.” Selective erasure of data is becoming the foundation for future health decisions.
