Microsoft and Partners Launch Coalition to Set Standards for Healthcare AI
-
Microsoft, federal agencies, and other stakeholders launch the Coalition for Health AI (CHAI) to establish standards and oversight for AI in healthcare.
-
CHAI aims to create a framework for certifying, testing, and tracking AI tools to ensure quality, safety, and fairness.
-
The nonprofit will work to set up a network of "health assurance labs" to validate AI models across diverse patient populations.
-
CHAI plans to build a public registry detailing the performance of AI tools that have gone through its validation process.
-
Participation in CHAI is voluntary, but its backers hope the private-public partnership will become the healthcare industry standard.
