Proposing an AI Passport as a Mitigating Action of Risk Associated to Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare signifies a substantial shift, offering benefits to patients and healthcare systems while also introducing new risks. The emphasis on patient safety and performance standards is pivotal, especially with the European Union's strides towards regulating AI through the AI Act. This act focuses on classifying AI systems based on risk levels, mandating stringent requirements for high-risk AI, enhancing transparency, and ensuring ethics in AI applications. The concept of an "AI passport" is introduced as a living document detailing the AI system's purpose, ethical declarations, training, evaluation, and potential biases. This passport aims to enhance transparency and safety in medical AI applications, serving as a comprehensive record for patients, clinicians, and stakeholders. The AI passport, structured in JSON format, encapsulates key information about the AI system as a mechanism for continuous performance evaluation and transparency. This initiative may represent a significant step towards mitigating the risks associated with AI in healthcare, emphasizing the importance of accountability, transparency, and patient safety in the development and application of AI technologies.
