Integrating enterprise risk management to address AI‐related risks in healthcare: Strategies for effective risk mitigation and implementation

Abstract

The incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care offers revolutionary enhancements in patient diagnostics, clinical processes, and overall access to services. Nevertheless, this technological transition brings forth various new, intricate risks that pose challenges to current safety and ethical norms. This research explores the ability of enterprise risk management as an all-encompassing framework to tackle these arising risks, providing both a forward-looking and responsive strategy designed for the health care industry. At the core of this method are instruments that together seek to proactively uncover and address AI-related weaknesses like algorithmic bias, system failures, and data privacy issues. On the reactive side, it incorporates incident reporting systems and root cause analysis, tools that enable health care providers to quickly address unexpected events and consistently improve AI implementation procedures. However, some application difficulties still exist. The unclear, "black box" characteristics of numerous AI models hinder transparency and responsibility, prompting inquiries about the clarity of AI-generated choices and their adherence to ethical benchmarks in patient treatment. The research highlights that with the progress of AI technologies, the enterprise risk management framework also needs to evolve, addressing these new complexities while promoting a culture focused on safety in health care settings.
