Summary
**Attacking the AI Bias Problem** Health care systems and university health technology experts have formed VALID AI, an alliance aiming to mitigate bias in artificial intelligence tools used in health care. The initiative, led by UC Davis specialists Dennis Chornenky and Ashish Atreja, seeks to develop AI tools that account for social determinants of health. This includes gathering diverse patient data related to socioeconomic status and access to care to improve health outcomes. VALID AI's diverse member base, including renowned health institutions, aims to train algorithms to detect and reduce biases, ultimately promoting equitable, efficient care. **Uterus Transplants** A study published in JAMA investigates the outcomes of uterus transplants at Baylor University Medical Center, revealing that such procedures enabled 70% of women to conceive and give birth. Although the trial had a small sample size and limited diversity, with only three participants being women of color, the findings are promising for addressing infertility. The next phase of research will involve a more diverse and larger patient group, with efforts to secure insurance coverage for broader access to the procedure. **Diet and Colorectal Cancer in Younger Adults** Cleveland Clinic researchers have linked high consumption of red and processed meats to increased colorectal cancer risk in younger adults.
