AI Policy for Healthcare

ABOUT

New techniques in machine learning have already shown enormous promise for improving quality, efficiency, and even equitable delivery of healthcare services. However, these scientific advances can only fulfill their potential with careful consideration of the ethical, public policy and regulatory context in which they operate.

The Task Force on Healthcare will explore critical scientific and public policy issues regarding the use of artificial intelligence techniques in health care, especially questions of equity, data access and privacy, safety and reliability, and immunology and global health surveillance.
