Standards in clinical AI: Aligning innovation with patient safety
AI experts and clinicians came together for a PRSB panel discussion exploring how standards can support the safe and effective use of clinical AI across the NHS. The session, Standards in clinical AI: Aligning innovation with patient safety, was attended by PRSB’s audience of stakeholders, including partners and member bodies, and brought together clinical, technical and policy perspectives on this rapidly developing area.
The Q&A-based discussion focused on how clinical AI works with unstructured data, the role of standards in enabling structured and shareable information, and how the regulatory and compliance landscape for clinical AI is evolving. Panellists also considered which frameworks matter most for maintaining patient safety, alongside opportunities and challenges facing organisations as AI technologies become more widely used in clinical settings. The session concluded with open discussion and questions from the audience.
A recording of the event is now available for anyone who would like to watch the session back or share it with colleagues who were unable to attend.
