Health systems are struggling to keep up with AI - A national registration system could help

This conversation is part of a series of interviews in which JAMA Network editors and expert guests explore issues surrounding the rapidly evolving intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and medicine. In a Viewpoint published in JAMA this past August, Michael Pencina, PhD, Duke Health’s chief data scientist, argued for a federated registration system for AI and health. Dr Pencina:I strongly believe that every organization needs to know what AI solutions it has implemented. In particular, health systems should keep track of AI algorithms or other AI solutions they’re running in clinical care and clinical operations. Imagine a portal where you record all the AI that you’re running and all the information related to it. Say Duke does it, but another health system does it, and another health system. It becomes national. That opens really interesting opportunities for collaboration, information sharing, and enhancing the ecosystem, as well as transparency for patients, our ultimate stakeholders.
