To ensure the successful use of healthcare artificial intelligence, leaders will need to expand data access and develop industry standards.

Data access and industry standards may help leaders eliminate potential bias in healthcare artificial intelligence tools, as well as improve implementation of the technology, according to a report from the US Government Accountability Office (GAO).

GAO noted that artificial intelligence has many possible uses in healthcare, in both the clinical and administrative areas of the industry.

“Developers have demonstrated AI tools in a number of clinical applications, such as supporting clinical decision-making. These tools are at varying stages of maturity and adoption, but with the exception of population health management tools, many have not achieved widespread use,” the report stated.
