ITU-WHO Focus Group on Artificial Intelligence for Health

The ITU-WHO Focus Group on Artificial Intelligence for Health (FG-AI4H) is an inter-agency collaboration between the World Health Organization and the ITU, which created a benchmarking framework to assess the accuracy of AI in health diagnostic aids, such as e.g. in a binary classification problem the Sensitivity and specificity. The idea for the Focus Group came out of the Health Track of the 2018 AI for Good Global Summit.[1]

Administratively, FG-AI4H was created by ITU-T Study Group 16 which in turn is a statutory meeting of the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA). The secretariat is provided by the Telecommunication Standardization Bureau (under Director Chaesub Lee). It was first created at the July 2018 meeting with a lifetime of two years,[2] at the July 2020 meeting this was extended for another two years, where the focus group also submitted its deliverables to its parent body.[3]

The outline of the benchmarking framework was published in a commentary in The Lancet as: WHO and ITU establish benchmarking process for artificial intelligence in health [4]
