Workshop consensus: Fixing healthcare AI regulation will take more than tweaks and patches
AI in Healthcare July 17, 2024
Querying 55 thought leaders behind closed doors, the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI—aka “Stanford HAI”—has found only 12% believe healthcare AI should always have a human in the loop.

Among the 55 were leading policymakers, scientists, healthcare providers, ethicists, AI developers and patient advocates. The organizers’ aim was to identify pressing AI policy gaps and rally support for changes in AI regulation.
