TU Delft becomes WHO Collaborating Centre on AI healthcare governance

Thursday, 6 March 2025
Delft University of Technology

The TU Delft Digital Ethics Centre will advise the World Health Organization (WHO) on ethical aspects and laws and regulations surrounding AI in healthcare. On 6 March, the Delft research centre will receive accreditation: after which it will officially be a WHO Collaboration Centre in the field of Ethics and Governance of AI in Healthcare. 

Healthcare is under tremendous pressure worldwide, and the deployment of AI in healthcare offers huge opportunities. But the integration and implementation of AI in healthcare is not without controversy and difficulties. For instance, Dutch research has shown only two per cent of all AI innovations worldwide are actually used. Innovations often do not connect well with practice, healthcare staff do not embrace them, ethical dilemmas arise or AI still contains biases that can cause discrimination.
