Risks of AI in Healthcare Demands Vigilant Security

A rise in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is opening up new security vulnerabilities, necessitating advanced protection strategies. Erik Barnett, North America advisory healthcare and life sciences lead at Avanade, and others recommend regular audits, training employees, and following basic cybersecurity practices like strong access controls. Other strategies include partnering with customers and other experts to create safety standards. AI’s integration into healthcare will be subject to tightened scrutiny and higher compliance requirements, as confidential computing becomes increasingly important, with an aim to safeguard fairness and avoid bias.
