Abstract
The European Union's Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AI Act) proposes a comprehensive regulatory framework for rtificial ntelligence (AI), emphasizing transparency, accountability, and ethical considerations, particularly in high-risk sectors like healthcare. This study assesses the readiness of European healthcare institutions for compliance with the EU AI Act. Using a systematic analysis of news articles and publications, we examine the current discourse on AI governance, compliance challenges, and implementation strategies within the European healthcare context. Our study findings indicate a big gap between AI adoption and compliance preparedness; hence, healthcare institutions should have increased awareness and strategic planning.
