"Healthcare Regulators Grapple with AI's Growing Role in Patient Diagnosis"

Doctors are already using unregulated and little-tested AI tools to aid in diagnosing patients, causing concern among regulators. The constantly evolving nature of AI models presents a challenge for regulation, as government regulators are already stretched thin. One proposed solution is for medical schools and academic health centers to create labs to constantly audit the performance of AI healthcare tools, but questions remain about resource allocation and representation of diverse patient populations. While AI holds potential for improving the medical system, its current forays into healthcare highlight the uncomfortable realities of the technology in life-or-death settings.
