Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Artificial intelligence (AI) has significant potential to improve health outcomes in oncology. However, as AI utility increases, it is imperative to ensure that these models do not systematize racial and ethnic bias and further perpetuate disparities in health. This scoping review evaluates the transparency of demographic data reporting and diversity of participants included in published clinical studies utilizing AI in oncology.
