Abstract

This letter proposes extending the post-trial provisions of the updated Declaration of Helsinki beyond pharmaceutical drugs to include AI tools, particularly those developed using data from low- and middle-income countries. Such an extension would help prevent data colonialism and ensure more equitable access to these tools, fostering fairness in global health research.
