Artificial intelligence (AI) is now permeating into every corner of healthcare. While AI brings great potential to Improve care, it also comes with great risk – opaque algorithms, ethical dilemmas, safety concerns, blurred lines of accountability.
Effective AI clinical governance requires integration of risk-proportionate oversight, mandatory human accountability, and continuous lifecycle monitoring into existing healthcare quality and safety structures. It requires clear pre-deployment validation, transparency and explainability, and active clinician engagement rather than treating AI as standard information technology.
This webinar will outline how clinical governance should be operationalised in healthcare organisations.
