Talking point:
- The complexity and proliferation of data in healthcare makes it vulnerable to disruption. But given the sensitive nature of the industry, the potential to impact patient safety and care, and the importance of protecting privacy and safety, it’s important to get it right.
- Workplace transformation will be critical to scaling responsibly, and once that is done – the real innovation will begin. Organizations need to view AI as a macro-level game with three key components: platform, transformation, and innovation.
- It is important that responsible AI is not seen as an afterthought but something that needs to be prioritized and embedded at the start of the AI journey.
- By putting responsible AI first and following best practices, companies can reduce risk and bias, protect patient data and privacy, create models that explainability and maintain transparency in AI algorithms.
- If AI’s responsibility is to build trust in AI systems and create sustainable value from AI investments, how do provider organizations do this?
- Continuous evaluation and improvement is vital to ensure humans are kept up to date so everyone can evaluate the impact of AI systems and gather feedback.
