AMA Launches Center for Digital Health and AI to Embed Physicians in Tech Development

The initiative puts physicians at the center of AI design to fit tools into real clinical workflows.

Overview

The American Medical Association launched the Center for Digital Health and AI on Oct. 20 to guide how health technologies are built and deployed.
The center prioritizes physician leadership on policy and regulation for AI and digital health tools.
It will deliver education and training so clinicians and health systems can integrate AI safely and effectively.
The program fosters collaboration with technology firms, researchers, government agencies and care organizations to develop benchmarks for safe, effective use.
AMA surveys report roughly two-thirds of physicians use AI-enabled tools, while about one-quarter remain more concerned than optimistic due to privacy, reliability and safety risks.
