Using AI algorithms responsibly, ethically and equitably

Optum develops artificial intelligence (AI) in support of UnitedHealth Group’s mission to help people live healthier lives and help make the health system work better for everyone. We focus on AI solutions that complement but do not replace human intelligence. These types of AI capabilities can empower people with information they need to make personal health choices, provide clinicians with insights to assist their decision-making, and enhance the performance of the health care system.

While AI is an important tool in health care, this technology must be used responsibly. Achieving this involves governance, fairness, accountability, transparency and privacy. As AI solutions continue to evolve, it is important to account for these unique considerations by continuously assessing and improving business AI practices.
