A new National Commission will help accelerate safe access to AI in healthcare and across the NHS by advising the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency on a new regulatory rulebook. With expertise from global AI leaders, clinicians and regulators, the Commission will immediately look at tech that is being held back due to regulatory uncertainty, like AI assistants for doctors. AI ambient voice technology or AI scribes can record and summarise discussions between doctors and patients. This reduces admin and means more people can be seen by clinicians and that they can spend more time focusing on patients. If cutting-edge AI technologies are to be safely and effectively integrated into everyday healthcare, AI regulation must ensure patient safety and public confidence by getting regulation right.
