The Alliance for Continuing Education in the Health Professions' Position on Artificial Intelligence in CPD.

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has profound implications for continuing professional development (CPD) in healthcare. Recognising the need for guidance in this evolving landscape, the Alliance for Continuing Education in the Health Professions (the Alliance), a global association of CPD professionals and stakeholders who share and implement best practices across healthcare settings and professions, has developed a position statement on the ethical use of AI in CPD. This article outlines the process of creating this statement, its key principles, and the rationale behind its development. The statement, developed through a collaborative effort involving an AI task force and the Alliance board of directors, provides a framework for CPD professionals to navigate the integration of AI technologies responsibly. The position statement emphasises appropriate utilisation, privacy protection, transparence, compliance, human oversight, bias elimination, accessibility enhancement, and ongoing education about AI. As the field continues to evolve, this position statement serves as a crucial starting point for ensuring that AI's potential in healthcare education is harnessed ethically and effectively.
