  • Artificial intelligence offers tremendous opportunities to improve health care from diagnosis and treatment to research and administration. It also poses numerous challenges, some due to uncertainty about the laws governing its use. This program focuses on the laws, regulations, and practices in three fundamental aspects of clinical care: clinical decision support systems and medical devices; insurance and payment decisions; and informed consent and privacy.
