Fostering Trust in AI driven Healthcare: SecUre and uNbiased knowleDge guided gEneRative AI

Project description

A framework for responsible generative AI

Machine learning (ML) has a future in the healthcare sector, but limited data setsand privacy regulations constrain progress. Generative AI can produce synthetic data, but trust issues with fairness and privacy hinder its use. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the THUNDER project aims to address gaps in trustworthy generative models and machine learning methods for healthcare, particularly around standardised evaluation frameworks and trust issues. Its main goal is to develop a comprehensive framework for responsible generative AI in healthcare, with an emphasis on defining evaluation metrics, creating knowledge-guided generative models, and designing interpretable learning models. The project will particularly target sepsis, a global health priority designated by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Objective

Machine learning (ML) offers transformative opportunities for healthcare, with applications ranging from precision medicine to operational optimization. However, progress is constrained by limited access to diverse, high-quality datasets, exacerbated by fragmentation, data scarcity, and stringent privacy regulations. Traditional data augmentation methods fail to fully capture the complexity and heterogeneity of healthcare data. Generative AI, particularly large language models (LLMs), offers a promising alternative by synthesizing realistic datasets while addressing data scarcity. Yet, their adoption in healthcare is hindered by critical concerns about trustworthiness, including semantic validity, fairness, bias mitigation, fidelity, privacy preservation, and real-world utility. This research identifies key gaps in developing trustworthy generative models and ML methods for healthcare. These include the absence of standardized synthetic data evaluation frameworks, trust deficits in healthcare generative models, resource intensiveness, and design-induced opaqueness. The overall objective of the THUNDER project is to forge a comprehensive framework for trustworthy and responsible generative AI in healthcare. This will be achieved by defining (i) standardized evaluation metrics, (ii) developing advanced knowledge-guided generative models, and (iii) creating a fully frugal-by-design and interpretable-by-design learning models. These efforts, driven by interdisciplinary and intersectoral mobility and knowledge exchange, will establish a new paradigm for AI-driven healthcare. We will target Sepsis as a global health priority identified by the World Health Organization (WHO).
