Who's Running QC on Artificial Intelligence?
Overview
Revise to specify the lack of rigorous standards in AI governance compared to clinical labs.
Background
As AI technologies increasingly influence clinical decision-making, the absence of a coherent governance framework raises significant concerns about patient safety and care quality. Current practices often misclassify AI tools as mere information technology solutions, neglecting their diagnostic implications. Establishing robust oversight mechanisms is essential to ensure these tools perform reliably across diverse healthcare settings.
