Rethinking Bias in AI – Why Algorithmic Bias is Only the Tip of the Iceberg

February 4, 2026: 10 am PT / 11 am MT / 12 pm CT / 1 pm ET 

Presenters: Steven Lin, MD, and Tricia Elliott, MD

This 60-minute conversational session will feature STFM President Steven Lin, MD, and STFM Past President Tricia Elliott, MD. The conversation will begin with a discussion about how biased data leads to skewed AI outputs and touch on strategies for mitigation, such as de-biasing data and fairness audits. The conversation will then pivot to a broader view: participation bias (how limited voices shape AI priorities) and implementation bias (how deployment can exclude marginalized communities). The speakers will offer ideas for equity-centered policies and practices, and describe how STFM’s National Family Medicine AI Centers of Excellence can build capacity and skills. 

Participants will get practical tips on:

• Talking the AI talk
• Having relevant conversations in their institutions
• Making the business case for equitable AI integration
• AI practices that promote health equity
