Key points: Data protection must address AI-specific risks. The most important reasons for AI governance are regulatory adherence, data security, ethical AI use and transparency. AI asks for a proactive, forward-thinking approach.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the healthcare industry. Its potential to increase efficiency and improve patient outcomes is exciting. AI operates with vast amounts of sensitive health data. An AI governance framework must cover current regulatory requirements, such as those imposed by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), to address AI’s risks without slowing down innovation. Organizations must make AI governance a priority, making sure that systems are secure, ethical, and trustworthy.
Data security is always a hot topic in healthcare, but AI introduces challenges as AI systems process protected health information (PHI) in new and different ways that create new demands for data privacy. Data protection must address AI-specific risks.

While HIPAA regulations provide a foundation for data protection, they may not sufficiently address AI-specific risks
“Apart from AI, healthcare organizations will continue to focus on addressing interoperability challenges and working to enhance data access and liquidity, as data increasingly becomes a key driver of innovation and revenue.”
The most important reasons for AI governance are regulatory adherence, data security, ethical AI use and transparency.
“California has recently enacted 17 bills covering the use and regulation of AI technology, including a law requiring covered providers to provide an AI detection tool (SB 942), a law requiring certain providers that use generative AI to provide certain disclosures to patients (AB 3030), and a law requiring developers of generative AI systems to make certain disclosures about training data (AB 2013).” Other states are following as well.
The transforming power of AI asks for a proactive approach. Policies must be implemented that ensure compliance today but are also forward-thinking, as the pace of AI evolution is fast. Providers and other healthcare organizations need standardized frameworks to ensure their AI tools are safe and perform well over time.
