Abstract
BACKGROUND: The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care is increasing and has shown utility in many medical specialties, especially pathology, radiology, and oncology. OBSERVATIONS: Many barriers exist to successfully implement AI programs in the clinical setting. To address these barriers, a formal governing body, the hospital AI Committee, was created at James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital in Tampa, Florida. The AI committee reviews and assesses AI products based on their success at protecting human autonomy; promoting human well-being and safety and the public interest; ensuring transparency, explainability, and intelligibility; fostering responsibility and accountability; ensuring inclusiveness and equity; and promoting AI that is responsive and sustainable. CONCLUSIONS: Through the hospital AI Committee, we may overcome many obstacles to successfully implementing AI applications in the clinical setting.
