Summary
The American College of Physicians (ACP) has issued a policy paper with ten recommendations on using artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare. Published in the *Annals of Internal Medicine*, the paper emphasizes that AI tools should augment rather than replace clinical decision-making and adhere to medical ethics. The ACP calls for transparency, data privacy, and continuous improvement based on real-world feedback. The paper also stresses the need for training at all levels of medical education and advocates for a coordinated federal AI strategy to address biases and disparities. Additionally, the environmental impact of AI should be considered, and AI developers must be held accountable for their technology's performance.
