Published Date: Jun 25, 2025

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates remain disproportionately low among Hispanic and Latino populations compared to non-Hispanic White populations. While artificial intelligence (AI) shows promise in health care delivery, concerns exist that AI-based interventions may disadvantage non-English-speaking populations due to biases in development and deployment.
