Comment by Alastair Denniston

Human avatar
NHS consultant and Chair of the National Commission into the Regulation of AI in Healthcare.
One message came through clearly: people are open to AI improving their care, but only if it is safe, overseen by humans, and if they know when it is being used. These recommendations are designed to make that trust possible, so that the UK can lead the world not just in developing AI for healthcare, but in showing how it can be regulated and used responsibly.
