First Report Managed Care quotes CEO David Lareau in a roundup of 2025 predictions for how advancements in AI, smart technology, and innovative care models will improve access, reduce disparities, and enhance patient outcomes across underserved populations.
“The health care industry’s rush to deploy AI systems trained primarily on synthetic or limited patient datasets will emerge as a major health equity concern in 2025, as evidence mounts that these systems perform poorly for underserved populations. We will see a marked shift toward requiring diversity in training data and real-world validation across different patient populations before AI tools can be deployed in clinical settings.”
