National Commission into the Regulation of AI in Healthcare
Benefits
The Commission's recommendations aim to help patients benefit from AI safely and quickly by supporting the UK to become the best place for innovators to build and safely test AI, the best place for healthcare professionals to use it, and the best place for patients to engage with it in their care. AI is already used in the NHS to spot serious health problems early (such as strokes and skin cancers) and to free up clinicians' time through voice-enabled technologies.
