2. Privacy and Data Transparency: Transparent data practices and adherence to global privacy laws are critical for building trust and compliance.
3. Bias and Equity in AI: Proactively addressing algorithmic bias ensures equitable patient outcomes across diverse populations.
4. Expanding Access: AI’s potential lies in bridging healthcare gaps through remote diagnostics and telemedicine.
5. Reimbursement Challenges: AI needs updated CMS policies for consistent reimbursement reflecting its value in healthcare.
6. Educating Stakeholders: Training and outreach programs are essential for building confidence in AI's capabilities.
7. Transparency as a Priority: Clear labeling and communication around AI products are non-negotiable for safety and trust.
