Some important questions for AI ethics and safety

But there are resources available for health care teams to help support safe and ethical AI to start them off and set a common foundation for the discussion. As Jessica Newman, director of the AI Security Initiative at the Center for Long Term Cybersecurity at the University of California, Berkeley, explained there are four common types of AI technologies being implemented in healthcare today. Despite the challenges, Newman pointed to promising governance and noted this is not a completely unregulated space: The FDA for example regulates medical devices that use AI enabled software, while the FTC is cracking down on the sale or use of racially biased algorithms and data privacy and security regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR also apply to AI technologies.
