Positioned at the intersection of these perspectives, academic medical centers (AMCs) are charged with navigating the safe and responsible implementation of health care AI. Decisions about the use of AI at AMCs are complicated by uncertainties regarding the risks posed by these technologies and a lack of consensus on best practices for managing these risks. In this article, we highlight several potential harms that may arise in the adoption of health care AI, with a focus on risks to patients, clinicians, and medical practice. In addition, we describe several strategies that AMCs might adopt now to address concerns about the safety and ethical uses of health care AI.

Emerging evidence suggests that CT-FFR has the potential to enhance the specificity of computer tomography of coronary angiogram, thereby reducing the need for additional diagnostic examinations such as invasive coronary angiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. This could result in savings in financial cost, time, and resources for both patients and health care providers.

Many schools of medicine are capitalizing on the promise of these new technologies by establishing academic units to catalyze and grow research and innovation in AI/ML. At Stanford University, we have developed a successful model for an AI/ML research center with support from academic leaders, clinical departments, extramural grants, and industry partners. The Center for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and Imaging uses the following 4 key tactics to support AI/ML research: project-based learning opportunities that build interdisciplinary collaboration; internal grant programs that catalyze extramural funding; infrastructure that facilitates the rapid creation of large multimodal AI-ready clinical data sets; and educational and open data programs that engage the broader research community. The center is based on the premise that foundational and applied research are not in tension but instead are complementary. Solving important biomedical problems with AI/ML requires high-quality foundational team science that incorporates the knowledge and expertise of clinicians, clinician scientists, computer scientists, and data scientists. As AI/ML becomes an essential component of research and clinical care, multidisciplinary centers of excellence in AI/ML will become a key part of the scholarly portfolio of academic medical centers and will provide a foundation for the responsible, ethical, and fair implementation of AI/ML systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":74127,"journal":{"name":"Mayo Clinic Proceedings.
