The Department of Health and Human Services Jan. 10 released its Strategic Plan for the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Health, Human Services, and Public Health, a guide that seeks to clarify regulatory oversight, coverage and payment determinator processes for AI as well as refine existing regulatory frameworks to address the adaptive nature of AI technologies. There is no immediate regulatory impact resulting from the plan. 

The plan focuses on four goals: catalyzing health AI innovation and adoption to unlock new ways to improve people’s lives, promoting trustworthy AI development and ethical and responsible use to avoid potential harm, democratizing AI technologies and resources to promote access, and cultivating AI-empowered workforces and organization cultures to effectively and safely use AI.
