The paper highlights the need for a strategy that is shaped by the public, patients, and healthcare staff, and prioritizes areas such as AI development and deployment, data and digital infrastructure, testing and evaluation, regulatory regime, and workforce skills. The authors emphasize the importance of engaging patients and staff in the co-design of AI solutions, ensuring effective mechanisms for public engagement, and maintaining a proportionate approach to data security and privacy. The paper’s recommendations offer valuable insights for healthcare AI stakeholders globally, providing a framework for harnessing the potential of AI in healthcare while addressing the challenges and risks associated with its adoption.
