A consortium of medical institutions and AI researchers has proposed a new framework for ethical AI use in healthcare settings. The guidelines emphasize patient autonomy, fairness, transparency, and clinician oversight for all AI-assisted medical decisions. Notably, the framework recommends clear disclosure to patients when AI systems are involved in their care and maintaining human medical professionals as the ultimate decision-makers. The proposal includes specific technical standards for testing, validating, and monitoring healthcare AI systems across diverse patient populations to ensure equitable outcomes.
