WASHINGTON (Reuters) — Twenty-eight healthcare companies, including CVS Health , are signing U.S. President Joe Biden’s voluntary commitments aimed at ensuring the safe development of artificial intelligence (AI), a White House official said on Thursday.
The commitments by healthcare providers and payers follow those of 15 leading AI companies, including Google, OpenAI and OpenAI partner Microsoft to develop AI models responsibly.
Biden’s government is pushing to set parameters around AI as it makes rapid gains in capability and popularity while regulation remains limited.
“The administration is pulling every lever it has to advance responsible AI in health-related fields,” the White House official said, adding AI carried enormous potential to benefit patients, doctors and hospital staff, if managed responsibly.
