Remarkable progress in artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms performance, and the fast growth in “real world” data available in electronic form generate high hopes for healthcare quality, efficiency, and accessibility improvements. But this game changing progress also causes growing concerns about the effects of growing AI use and its unintended, unanticipated, or even intentionally unethical consequences. Numerous issues and limitations of the algorithms and data used in healthcare and beyond have become more visible, and several organizations and researchers have proposed advice and guidelines to help address these concerns, issues, and limitations. Principles of Responsible AI are now promoted by several important organizations and stakeholders in the AI industry, but there is a need to move these principles towards practical realization and application in real-world scenarios. This panel will address several key aspects of responsible AI in health: explainability and interpretability; bias and fairness; reliability, reusability, and efficiency; privacy and confidentiality protection.

Reproducibility imposes some special requirements at different stages of each project, including reproducible workflows for the analysis including to follow best practices regarding code style and to make the creation of the manuscript reproducible as well. Available tools therefore include version control systems such as Git and document creation tools such as Quarto or R Markdown. However, a re-usable project template mapping the entire process from performing the data analysis to finally writing the manuscript in a reproducible manner is yet lacking. This work aims to fill this gap by presenting an open source template for conducting reproducible research projects utilizing a containerized framework for both developing and conducting the analysis and summarizing the results in a manuscript. This template can be used instantly without any customization.
