Last Friday, Sophia Simkins, primary care nurse and VP of Political Education for VFNHP, testified about the dangers of unregulated AI use in Healthcare before the House Health Care committee.
“AI is entering healthcare rapidly with little input from direct care providers or, more importantly, from our patients. For example, UVMMC is working on implementing an AI remote patient monitoring program that is relatively untested… It raises questions about who is held responsible when a patient is harmed. There has not been adequate safety research to show that this is equivalent to standard practice.” |
