9. “Hallucinations” occur when large language models (LLMs) perceive patterns or objects that are non-existent, creating
inaccurate outputs.
10. This is a term from the pharmaceutical industry that outlines the path from basic science research – e.g. preclinical and
animal studies – to clinical studies in humans, at which point a large proportion of promising discoveries fail.

14. As emphasized in the Brazil G20 Health Ministerial Declaration (October 31, 2024): “We will also promote the
development of digital public infrastructure for health adapted to climatic and environmental conditions.” Health ministers
announced the creation of a global coalition for local and regional production of health services and products.

21. Federated learning allows for the analysis and decentralized training of machine-learning models directly on the devices
that hold the training data. Unlike traditional machine learning, federated learning does not require training data to be
gathered in a central location. Instead, the data remains on the original devices, while the training algorithm is distributed
to where the data resides. See Raab, R., et al. (2023, November). Federated electronic health records for the European
Health Data Space. Lancet Digital Health, 5(11) E840–E847. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/landig/article/PIIS2589-
