AI regulations in healthcare are, well, sort of nonexistent at the moment. Congress was considering prohibiting states from regulating AI for the next 10 years, though that was scrapped from the June 6 “big beautiful” tax bill for a new proposal that restricts broadband funding in states that regulate AI. At the same time, AI is popping up all over healthcare, from scribes to agents, and according to the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions, 75% of top healthcare companies are experimenting with generative AI. The research organization also reported that 82% of healthcare organizations plan to “implement governance and oversight structures for generative AI.” That’s where the public-private Coalition for Health AI, or CHAI, comes in. Launched in December 2021, the group of 3,000 providers, tech companies, and other healthcare organizations—including Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, and Mount Sinai—and are working together to create standards for AI in healthcare.
