    Dear All,

    President Biden's executive order on artificial intelligence amounts to a giant course correction in health care.

    The actions taken in response could dramatically reshape how AI is used - and how much it costs - in areas from drug research to hospital care.

    The order, released in full detail late Monday, calls for two elements of AI oversight that are currently nonexistent in health care: a policy, or independent body, that would test and assure the quality of AI tools, and a "central tracking repository" to report clinical errors associated with the use of the technology.
