Deep dives
Regulating AI in Healthcare
The current regulatory landscape for artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is largely shaped by Mickey Tripathi, who oversees the integration and standards of AI across various government agencies. Tripathi's role, while vital, is complicated by limited resources and authority, making him more of a coordinator than a regulator. His office is tasked with harmonizing efforts from the FDA, NIH, and other bodies that interact with AI in healthcare, yet it lacks enforcement power and budgetary support. Despite these challenges, he has managed to initiate strategic projects that aim to create a framework for AI adoption, though the success of these initiatives relies heavily on collaboration with the private sector.
