Epic and UW research: Healthcare AI must be equitable, transparent, regulated

AI holds promise for healthcare, but clear regulations and defined use-cases are needed, according to a roundtable discussion hosted by Epic and UW Health. Key areas of focus included using AI to improve access to care and reducing administrative burdens. However, transparency and trust in AI technology is crucial as the technology integrates into patient care. Participants emphasised that AI should assist, not replace, healthcare staff.
