Micky Tripathi, head of The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), thinks his office’s recent rule on AI transparency will do a good job of empowering both providers and tech developers. “I think it’s going to spur more adoption of AI-based tools in healthcare delivery, and hopefully, it’s going to establish a sort of mechanism for driving higher quality AI-based tools,” he stated during an interview this month at the Reuters Digital Health conference in San Diego. In December, the ONC finalized a new rule that instated transparency requirements for the use of AI in healthcare settings. It requires healthcare AI developers to provide more data about their products to customers, which could aid providers in determining AI tools’ risks and effectiveness.
