New HHS Strategic Plan For Artificial Intelligence Echoes ACR Recommendations
Jan. 15, 2025
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released a nonbinding roadmap to signal its near- and long-term priorities for artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare. The plan prioritizes four overarching areas: AI innovation and adoption; trustworthiness and responsible use; democratization and equitable access; and workforce and organizational culture. It echoes various AI policy of the American College of Radiology® (ACR®) to the federal government over the past decade, and discusses radiology’s leadership in the current healthcare AI market.
HHS developed the plan in accordance with certain directives in the October 2023 Biden Executive Order on AI, and was informed by a task force of multiple HHS agencies, including the Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. However, departmental AI perspectives and priorities may change under the new administration and HHS priorities will also evolve with future innovations.
More information about ACR AI-specific programs, products and services is available on the ACR Data Science Institute® webpage. If you have questions about AI federal policy, contact Michael Peters, ACR Senior Director, Government Affairs.
