ABSTRACT This article assesses the normative case for using citizens' assemblies—small deliberative forums of randomly selected citizens—in health policymaking.

ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI)‐generated synthetic data has emerged as a promising solution to address the underrepresentation of underserved populations in medical AI systems. By artificially generating data that mimics real‐world patient information, proponents argue that AI‐generated synthetic data can fill data gaps, improve algorithmic ...
