Today’s international system is in flux and fragmenting with the need to navigate competing power aspirations, modes of order and national interests. Change is happening to global order and there is a clear need to explore and understand the implications and lessons of reordering and disorder. In this context, the British Academy and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace are establishing a new multi-year international policy programme on Global (Dis)Order.
The purpose of the programme is to generate fresh insights and creative thinking that improves our collective understanding of the current moment and suggests possible pathways for international cooperation on shared challenges. Achieving this result will require us to marshal diverse perspectives and visions from around the world, as well as expertise that bridges the worlds of research, policy, and practice. It also requires us to take a long view, to better understand the historical antecedents and precedents for contemporary geopolitical, economic, political, societal, technological, ecological, and other trends, as well as how they might be addressed most effectively.
Policy-relevant discussion papers
As part of the programme, up to 40 discussion papers will be commissioned, of which this paper on Navigating the Global Politics of AI and Healthcare is one. The paper will provide an overview of the global politics of AI in healthcare to support policy makers at a range of levels to critical engage with the current and future role of AI technologies in healthcare systems.
A link to the discussion paper will be published here when finished.
