The World Health Organization (WHO) recently released a regulatory report on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the healthcare industry, strongly calling on governments to strengthen supervision in this area. The report pointed out that with the widespread use of AI technology in the medical field, the potential risks also increase, especially in data privacy and technology abuse. Therefore, establishing a safe and effective artificial intelligence medical system has become an urgent task.
The report highlights the importance of accelerating the provision of appropriate medical AI applications to patients. Through AI technology, medical diagnosis and treatment can be more accurate and efficient, thereby significantly improving the treatment effect and quality of life of patients. However, this process must be based on strict regulation and risk management to ensure the safety and reliability of the technology.
To increase transparency in healthcare data and models, WHO recommends strengthening dialogue and exchanges among various stakeholders. Through multi-party cooperation, we can better understand the potential and limitations of AI technology, and thus formulate more scientific and reasonable regulatory policies. In addition, the report highlights the importance of validating external data to ensure the accuracy and reliability of AI systems.
The WHO hopes to minimize its potential risks by introducing these regulatory measures while leveraging the full potential of AI. This not only helps promote technological progress in the medical industry, but also ensures the safety and privacy of patients and achieves a balanced development of technology and ethics.
