A three-pronged approach is proposed to leverage artificial intelligence in improving surgical care access, particularly for underserved populations. By emphasizing data quality, continuous system evaluation, and ethical governance, researchers suggest that AI can reduce disparities in health outcomes. This approach addresses the risks associated with AI implementation while unlocking its potential to benefit rural and vulnerable communities. Effective management of AI is crucial to ensure equitable healthcare delivery and heightened safety standards.
