Leadership takes empathy and transparency

Amy Chacko, IT portfolio manager at Hackensack Meridian Health, says the HIMSS chapter members she's spoken with are implementing AI slowly and carefully due to concerns about patient safety and achieving strategic goals.

Dr. Leeda Rashid, formerly of the FDA Digital Health Center of Excellence, recommends that the federal government develop enforceable governance frameworks with oversight and accountability that cover AI tools' full lifecycles.

Tara Steele, executive director of the Safe AI for Children Alliance, says new AI apps must be proactively built to shield children from harm, rather than changed after children have been harmed or endangered.
