Board Approves Creation of Task Force on AI in Healthcare

December 19, 2024

At its December 16 meeting, the MMA Board of Trustees authorized the creation of an MMA task force focused on artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare. 

The task force is charged with considering the complex landscape of AI in healthcare, and identifying and recommending policies and/or principles that will allow for innovation while also ensuring that patients and physicians are protected.  

The task force will focus its work on transparency in the use of AI, potential bias in the use of AI, liability considerations and clinical decision-making.  

The task force, which will have up to 15 members, will hold its first meeting in early 2025.  

Additional information on the task force and how to volunteer will be forthcoming in early 2025.
