A Closer Look at the Biden Administration’s Executive Order on Artificial Intelligence: Implications for the Imaging Space

Abstract

The Biden Administration recently issued an executive order aimed at establishing a “whole-of-government” regulatory approach to AI products. The Executive Order recognizes the need for interagency coordination when developing frameworks for AI and encourages developers to follow new quality standards. This piece explores the executive order’s provisions and interprets their implications for the radiology space. Developing new radiologic AI tools would now require a more careful balancing act between workflow optimization and risk management, with a host of new required disclosures and mandated design components.
