There is a gap in the inclusion and priority of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ voices in the fast- developing world of AI. Yet, due to the national policy and protocol infancy of this resource in healthcare applications, the relevance and priority AI plays in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander healthcare is unknown.
This project has implemented a consultation methodology approach through conducting independent workshops with key stakeholders to identify priorities and unanswered questions relevant to AI applications in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander healthcare. By building an evidence base, the project seeks to clarify the relevance of AI to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander healthcare and identify any concerns and opportunities associated with its use and deployment in healthcare.
