Abstract

For institutional review boards (IRBs) and human research protection programs (HRPPs) specifically, the ubiquity of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and data mining (DM) within research today have created various and significant challenges for protections of human subjects and human subjects data, including personally identifiable information, in research regulated by U.S. federal agencies. This article presents an analysis of the Blueprint for the AI Bill of Rights released in September 2022 by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy in the context of human subjects research and PII to address the mounting data ethical issues surrounding AI, ML, and DM, and the implications for IRBs and HRPPs for the protection of human subjects data.

Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, AI, Machine Learning, Data Mining, Human Subjects, Human Subjects Protections, Human Subject Identifiers, Personally Identifiable Information, Data Deidentification, Data Privacy
