Abstract
There is growing attention and evidence that healthcare AI is vulnerable to racial bias. Despite the renewed attention to racism in the United States, racism is often disconnected from the literature on ethical AI. Addressing racism as an ethical issue will facilitate the development of trustworthy and responsible healthcare AI.
