The Coalition For Health AI Is A ‘Goo-Goo,’ Not Yet A Revolutionary
Summary
The Coalition for Health AI (CHAI), having amassed over 1,300 members, was launched with the aim of becoming the trusted source for AI best practices in health, emphasizing inclusivity and good governance reminiscent of historic "goo-goo" good government groups. Although partnered with notable stakeholders including Google and Microsoft, CHAI's ambitious goals raise questions about its ability to confront contentious AI uses in health care, such as secretive data collection practices, and whether it will ultimately prioritize technical standards over empowering patients to make their own health decisions. While the organization promises to revolutionize patient care through AI, its true commitment to transformative change versus technical fixes remains to be seen, mirroring the dual legacy of good governance advocates of the past.
