The lack of an open community that promotes knowledge exchange and access to resources on regulations and training makes research and implementation of AI in health challenging. ‘Artificial Intelligence for Global Health (AI4GH)’ convened by The Global Health Network is aimed towards achieving equity and maximising impact in the responsible application of AI in health. Central to AI4GH is an open-access, multilingual digital hub for the transfer of knowledge among health AI stakeholders and researchers. This hub provides access to AI resources and has a growing Community of Practice across the globe. Capacity building is supported by the regional coordinators, who amplify the project’s reach and align its objectives with local health needs. A mixed methods study for identifying gaps in free training opportunities in responsible use of AI and mapping of resources is underway. Support for AI research projects in health, facilitating collaborations, and skills-sharing workshops have been implemented. By addressing the global imbalance in AI research and awareness, AI4GH ensures that the benefits of AI in healthcare, including surgery, are shared equitably. This approach fosters knowledge transfer and promotes the responsible integration of AI in the different health sectors. AI4GH’s model is pivotal for advancing global health equity, ensuring that all health professionals, regardless of location, can access and leverage AI in health research to improve health outcomes.
