Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not an emerging technology, rather a reality in contemporary healthcare. In its newly released position statement, ASMIRT advocates for the safe, justified use of AI. The position statement proposes criteria by which the implementation and application of AI may be measured.
Using examples, ASMIRT’s statement proposes six key benchmarks.
Justification – AI systems should be justified in the context of the proposed environment, demonstrating clear benefit/solution
Evidence based – AI systems should be evidence based and demonstrated to perform in their proposed settings
Transparency – Manufacturers should be transparent about data retention, protection and testing populations
Accountability – Systems should be audited during installation and beyond.
Quality Assurance – Implementation and maintenance of quality assurance benchmarks to ensure AI remain fit for purpose
Education – Ensuring the workforce and students are adequately trained in contemporary practice
CT scans are just one medical imaging process that can be aided by AI when used in a safe, evidence-based way.
