𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗪𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲? 🏥💡 As generative AI technologies like #ChatGPT and others rapidly advance, regulators face a unique challenge in adapting traditional frameworks for healthcare. Current FDA regulations, designed for specific drugs and devices, fall short when applied to AI models with vast and evolving capabilities. A novel approach is needed — one that treats these AI systems more like human clinicians, requiring rigorous training, supervision, and periodic reassessment. While challenges such as AI "hallucinations" and transparency in training data remain, a thoughtful regulatory framework can ensure these technologies safely enhance clinical practice. I was recently invited to deliver three keynotes during the 82nd International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) World Congress of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences 2024 in Cape Town, South Africa from 1-4 September. During these sessions, I emphasized that we need a completely new approach and framework to regulate AI in healthcare — fully aligned with these insights.

✍ Crafting an Effective AI Council Charter in Healthcare & Life Sciences Continuing our ongoing discussions on AI Council for GenAI acceleration (post 1 - https://lnkd.in/eW2QhTKR; post 2 - https://lnkd.in/egbJmTps), let’s dive deeper into what might be literally the first task for AI Council i.e. establishing and maintaining a well-defined AI Council Charter. A well-crafted charter not only mitigates risks but also drives responsible AI innovation. The healthcare and life sciences sector faces unique challenges, including bias in AI algorithms, data privacy concerns, and the complexities of regulatory compliance. Addressing these challenges, as part of their charter, is critical for the success of the AI Council. Drafting a charter as the AI Council's first deliverable sets the tone for expectations and its effectiveness in leading GenAI adoption. This process may benefit from engaging a partner or consultant for a smooth experience. Below, I am sharing my mental model on charter development, giving insight into what it takes to deliver. As a new AI Council of diverse internal leaders, expect to go through norming, storming, and forming stages while drafting a charter. For a common understanding, I recommend members review key documents from government and NGO entities, such as FDA's AI & Medical Products white paper, White House's AI Bill of Rights, WHO's AI health regulations, and EU's AI Act. Give members ample time to familiarize themselves with these materials. Next, invite them for collaborative charter-defining workshops, ideally offsite to avoid distractions. During this 2-4 day event, use design thinking to gather inputs on purpose, scope, goals, challenges, roles, responsibilities, deliverables, KPIs, structure, and alignment with medical/scientific rigor. This iterative process should allow time for idea generation, sharing, grouping, and prioritizing. Using prioritized ideas, facilitate a session for participants to collaboratively draft the charter, combining key elements identified. Define the team's Purpose, Goals, Roles, Responsibilities, KPIs, Deliverables, and Structure. Allow ample time to ensure alignment and commitment from your cross-functional AI Council. Next, seek council feedback on clear, measurable KPIs (e.g., AI implementations, compliance rates) to gauge effectiveness. Align on audit cadence and PMO support. Consider additional measures: communication strategy, surveys, ethical incident analysis, impact assessments, and benchmark comparisons. These ensure the charter evolves with the AI landscape, remaining a living document. 💬 Have you defined your AI Council's charter? 📢 Subscribe to my newsletter: https://lnkd.in/g3bdneR7 #genai #ai #aws #AIinHealthcare #ResponsibleAI #LifeSciences

Updates on #Transhumanism and ethical use of #AI in #Naturopathy The healthcare industry is experiencing a massive tech disruption: - AI is diagnosing conditions with remarkable accuracy, often surpassing human capabilities - AI-enhanced surgical robots are improving precision in complex procedures - Biohackers like Brian Johnson are pushing the boundaries of human potential through serious health-tech interventions... But as we venture into this new reality, we must consider: are we approaching the realm of transhumanism, and if so, what are the implications? Transhumanism—the belief in enhancing human capabilities through technology—offers exciting possibilities. But it also raises concerns about equity. Will these advancements only benefit those who can afford them, further widening the gap in healthcare access? 👀 As healthcare professionals, we have a responsibility to ensure that tech progress benefits everyone, not just a select few. At #FROOMS, we're tackling this challenge head-on. Our team is developing an AI-driven platform specifically for naturopaths and functional medicine practitioners. Our vision is to democratise access to cutting-edge health technologies, enabling practitioners to provide exceptional care to all patients, regardless of their background or resources. By integrating AI into holistic healthcare, we're working towards a future where personalised, effective treatments are the standard, not the exception 🚀 But with innovation comes responsibility. It's crucial that we use AI in alignment with our core principles and ethical standards. This is particularly important in naturopathy, where regulation is currently limited. Should AI be regulated to prevent potential harm? I believe that thoughtful regulation can provide numerous benefits, ensuring safe and effective practices while protecting patients! Recognising this need, we are working with NHAA.est1920 to develop policies for the ethical use of AI in naturopathy, setting standards and guidelines for our field. This work is more than just a professional interest for me—it's a passion. I'm currently pursuing my master's degree at Southern Cross University, with plans to undertake a Ph.D. in the future. My goal is to contribute to the responsible advancement of AI in healthcare, ensuring that these technologies enhance rather than replace the human touch that's so crucial in holistic medicine. While there's still much work to be done, I'm committed to contributing to a healthcare future that's not only tech advanced but also equitable and focused on compassionate care for all patients 💛
