Key Characteristics

Recent Developments

• AI Governance: New AI technologies are being rapidly adopted by healthcare professionals, yet existing organisational governance often lacks the processes necessary to oversee their safe and responsible use.
• Ethical Frameworks: Previous AI governance frameworks have largely focused on high-level AI ethics principles, leaving healthcare organisations struggling to translate these principles into practice, assess risk, and embed ai-oversight into existing processes.
• Practice-Oriented Solutions: A study aimed to develop and validate a practice-oriented AI governance framework for healthcare organisations.
