This paper highlights that ethical engagement with AI can reduce inequities in public health systems, emphasizing training and teamwork.
Without deliberate engagement, AI risks reinforcing existing inequities. Practical steps for action include embedding AI training in public health education, building multidisciplinary teams, investing in data infrastructure, and ensuring participatory approaches. AI will continue to shape public health systems, whether or not public health professionals engage. We argue that the public health community is both uniquely positioned and ethically obligated to engage proactively with AI.
