Hastings on the Hill: Informing Policy on AI in Health

The rapid implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in health raises profound policy challenges. While AI can save lives and improve healthcare outcomes, it also carries the risk of causing harm if not properly regulated. It is becoming increasingly challenging for policymakers - and those responsible for informing policy - to keep up with ever-evolving technological developments, implementation for various use cases, and the bioethics research meant to inform wise and responsible regulation. This project will seek to use the experience and expertise of Dr. Ravitsky, Dr. Bélisle-Pipon (bioethics researchers) and Erin Williams, JD (a “congressional bioethicist”) to translate bioethics for policymakers, focusing on two-way engagement, as policymakers try to understand different perspectives that should be considered to develop responsible regulation.
