Biden administration warning about benefits, harms of Artificial Intelligence

Sanford Health is one of 28 health care industry groups to join a White House initiative this month on the use of Artificial Intelligence in the industry.

The Biden administration is urging the health care industry to be measured in its use of AI, warning that the technology’s growing power has the ability to help, and hurt, health care outcomes.

“Without appropriate testing, risk mitigations, and human oversight, AI-enabled tools used for clinical decisions can make errors that are costly at best – and dangerous at worst,” the White House announcement said. “Absent proper oversight, diagnoses by AI can be biased by gender or race, especially when AI is not trained on data representing the population it is being used treat.”

The announcement was made by National Economic Advisor Lael Brainard, Domestic Policy Advisor Neera Tanden and Arati Prabhakar, the White House’s director of the Office of Science Technology Policy.
