NAM Draft Health Care Artificial Intelligence Code of Conduct

The National Academy of Medicine (NAM) Leadership Consortium conducts several “action collaboratives,” initiatives, and projects.  The 2-year NAM Health Care Artificial Intelligence Code of Conduct (AICC) Project is designed to provide “a guiding framework to ensure that AI algorithms and their application in health, health care, and biomedical science perform accurately, safely, reliably, and ethically in the service of better health for all.”  The AICC Project Steering Committee recently published an Artificial Intelligence in Health, Health Care, and Biomedical Science: An AI Code of Conduct Principles and Commitments Discussion Draft.  The Draft article discusses ten proposed Code of Conduct principles and six proposed Code of Conduct commitments, outlines future Project activities, and provides a link to a survey for stakeholders to share their “experiences and feedback to help identify opportunities for improvement and innovation.”  For more information, see the AICC Project web page, which also provides a link to register for Project updates.  NAM is one of the three academies in the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, “private, nonprofit institutions that work outside of government to provide objective advice on matters of science, technology, and health.”
