AHLA Releases AI and Health Law Convener White Paper

AHLA releases Designing a Trusted Framework for the Application of AI in Health Care, a white paper summarizing the discussion held during AHLA’s Convener on Artificial Intelligence and Health Law on November 2, 2020.

Convener participants have extensive experience in big data and health care and were tasked with identifying the elements of a trusted framework for implementing AI in the health care industry. The white paper focuses on data privacy and security, regulation, liability allocation, intellectual property, and contracting challenges, and how these issues affect the development of a trusted framework for using AI in health care.

“AI innovation is becoming a transformational force in health care and rapidly outpacing the law,” comments Kristen Rosati, AHLA Past President, Member of the Convener Planning Workgroup, and Partner at Coppersmith Brockelman PLC. “This white paper helps present a path forward to addressing the significant legal issues in the development and use of AI in the health care industry.”

“I am encouraged by how many thought leaders and leading authorities have come together to problem-solve on emerging issues in health law and grateful for AHLA’s leadership in bringing them together.” adds Alaap Shah, Member of the Convener Planning Workgroup and Member at Epstein Becker & Green PC. “This white paper serves as an important documentation of this conversation.”

The Convener on Artificial Intelligence and Health Law: Designing a Trusted Framework for the Application of AI in Health Care is available to download for AHLA members and the broader health law community on AHLA’s website.
