The content discusses the AMA's deliberations on AI at its annual meeting, where physicians and medical students debated the professional risks and rewards of AI. The AMA delayed action on two key resolutions related to AI, including one that would establish "augmented intelligence" as the preferred term and another focusing on insurers' use of AI in determining medical necessity.
The AMA's trustees also presented a comprehensive report on AI, considering issues such as requirements for disclosing AI use, liability for harms due to flawed application of AI, data privacy, and cybersecurity. However, some AMA members raised concerns about the report, questioning what constitutes an AI-powered service and whether all AI tools need the kind of guardrails the AMA may seek.
The content also mentions that Congress is also examining AI policy challenges, with the Senate releasing a bipartisan "road map" that identifies priorities for future legislation, including creating appropriate guardrails and safety measures to protect patients, making healthcare data available for machine learning research while addressing privacy issues, and providing transparency about the use of AI in medical products and clinical support services.
In addition to the AI discussions, the AMA also adopted several other policies at the meeting, including increasing oversight and accountability of health insurers' use of prior authorization, supporting physician loan forgiveness for those practicing in certain healthcare settings, limiting out-of-pocket costs for Medicare Advantage enrollees, and expanding access to hearing, vision, and dental care.
