Before You Say “Aye” to AI…
In April 2024, the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) released the document, “Navigating the Responsible and Ethical Incorporation of Artificial Intelligence into Clinical Practice.” Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been ramping up as a hot topic in policy the past few years as federal and state policymakers grapple with how best to address this area on a regulatory basis. The recently released FSMB document is a result of a recommendation made by the task force FSMB convened which was intended to monitor AI developments. As a result, FSMB adopted this document to provide physicians and state medical boards with guidance on how to navigate AI in practices in a “responsible and ethical incorporation” manner.
