Duke Health joins leading health systems and payers in signing a pledge committing to key principles of safety, security, and trust for the development and application of AI at the annual conference hosted by the Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy.
“First and foremost, AI should serve humans,” said Michael Pencina, PhD, Duke Health’s chief data scientist. “It’s imperative that AI is developed and applied in a trustworthy manner, and we have been engaged in establishing that foundation for the last few years, as evidenced by our role in the Coalition for Health AI (CHAI) and recent publications. We are not catching up on this — it’s something that has been a differentiator in terms of being careful and proactive — and our signature on the pledge is a further confirmation of our commitments.”
