HHS announces major new AI, cybersecurity and IT reorganization

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced a restructuring aimed at enhancing strategy and policymaking for IT, cybersecurity, data, and AI. Responsibilities will be redistributed among three agencies, with the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC) rebranded to include broader technology and policy roles. Key positions, including Chief Technology Officer and Chief AI Officer, will oversee respective strategies and governance. This restructuring supports President Biden’s executive order on AI and aims to improve HHS’s adaptability and strategic initiatives in these critical areas.
