AMA: Put augmented intelligence in practice of medicine

| 4 Min Read

CHICAGO — Sensing the promise of augmented intelligence (AI) in medicine, physicians are working to ensure oversight and accountability in an evolving technology. Delegates to the American Medical Association’s (AMA) annual meeting today endorsed a host of policy recommendations today that would keep the focus on AI’s role in enhancing patient care, improving population health, reducing overall costs while increasing value, and supporting the professional satisfaction of physicians.

“Medical experts are working to determine the clinical applications of AI -- work that will guide health care in the future. These experts, along with physicians, state and federal officials must find the path that ends with better outcomes for patients,” said Gerald E. Harmon, M.D., former chair of the AMA Board of Trustees. “We have to make sure the technology does not get ahead of our humanity and creativity as physicians.”
