“The incorporation of AI in medical practice presents tremendous benefits to patients and physicians alike. It also presents significant risk of harm to patients and physicians if it is developed and used irresponsibly. A sensible approach to the regulation of AI by state medical boards and its incorporation into practice by licensees holds greater promise of realizing AI’s benefits while minimizing potential harms. Adherence to traditional professional expectations for the provision of medical care will help achieve the patient safety goals of physicians and state medical boards.”
On December 5, 2023, The American Medical Association (AMA) has released new guidelines for the development and use of augmented intelligence (AI) in health care. The new principles build on current AI policy and advocate for the use of AI that is ethical, equitable, and transparent in health care applications.
