The Alliance for Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare (AAIH) hosted a special workshop on the status of AI in Healthcare in the United States during the AI World Government Conference. The AAIH session focused on providing attendees with a primer and a vision for how artificial intelligence and machine learning can improve medical care for patients, a current understanding of how AI and ML are being used to develop new healthcare technologies and products, and how and when they may impact federal health programs and agencies.

Some key takeaways included from our guest speakers from AAIH, DOE, DoD, NIH, and the FDA included:

• Value of awareness and an understanding of AI terms and relatable use cases;

• Significance of underlying compute power and architecture with future needs for aligning emerging chip design with healthcare needs,

• Data stewardship including guidelines for gathering, unintended bias, data-set and model standards

• Importance of real time data for decision-making and real-time intervention in the clinic, and lastly

• Emphasis on value and need for public private partnership including cross-industry and cross federal engagement
