Summary
In the article "Like Herding Cats": Making a Case for AI Assurance Labs, John Halamka, President of the Mayo Clinic Platform, highlights the collaborative efforts of academic medical centers, technology companies, and federal agencies in establishing AI assurance labs. These labs aim to bring structure and standardization to the development and deployment of AI algorithms in healthcare, responding to concerns over their reliability and safety. Following President Joe Biden's executive order on AI algorithm guidelines, this initiative seeks to create a network of both private and public assurance labs for the technical and ethical evaluation of AI technologies. This effort addresses the challenges of a fragmented approach to AI development, aiming to ensure that algorithms are beneficial and non-biased across diverse patient groups and healthcare settings.
