At the HL7 FHIR Synthetic Data Event on August 29, 2023, Gino joined Barbara Draghi and Karan Bhanot for the Fairness in Synthetic Data panel, moderated by Daniel Vreeman.
The discussion examined the potential for synthetic data to address healthcare disparities while emphasizing that fairness does not emerge automatically from generation quality. Gino distinguished associational fairness from causal notions of fairness, noted the stronger assumptions required by causal claims, and argued for continued investment in fairness-aware methods and research.
