Racing Against the Algorithm: Leveraging Inclusive <scp>AI</scp> as an Antiracist Tool for Brain Health

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming medicine, including neurology and mental health. Yet without equity-centered design, AI risks reinforcing systemic racism. This article explores how algorithmic bias and phenotypic exclusion disproportionately affect marginalized communities in brain health. Drawing on lived experience and scientific evidence, the essay outlines five design principles-centered on inclusion, transparency, and accountability-to ensure AI promotes equity. By reimagining AI as a tool for justice, we can reshape translational science to serve all populations.
