Summary
Healthcare organizations are urged to establish strong AI governance frameworks before integrating artificial intelligence technologies. While adapting current oversight structures for AI governance is feasible, organizations must navigate uncertainties regarding industry standards and federal regulations to mitigate risks related to bias and ensure effective AI solutions. Recent legal cases illustrate the urgent need for vigilant governance. Additionally, as AI heavily relies on data, it is essential to incorporate data governance principles such as stewardship, privacy, and security into AI frameworks. With patients increasingly concerned about AI's role in their care, addressing issues like consent and data protection is critical for maintaining patient safety and trust in AI applications.
