Federal activity around artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare continues to accelerate, highlighted by a recent Government Accountability Office (GAO) report examining both the promise and risks of AI.  The GAO report provides a comprehensive overview of how AI is currently being used across the healthcare sector, including applications in diagnostics, clinical decision support, administrative efficiency, and public health surveillance. It highlights the potential for AI to improve outcomes, expand access, and reduce costs, but also underscores significant risks related to data quality, bias, transparency, and oversight.
