Bipartisan House Task Force Report Outlines Key Areas of AI Focus for Health Care
From Nelson Mullins Insights, January 15, 2025
As the New Year begins, questions surrounding how recent election results will impact technology regulation across industries loom large. It’s hardly a bold prediction that artificial intelligence (“AI”) and the regulation thereof will remain front and center in 2025 as policymakers, businesses, professionals, and consumers grapple with its transformative potential and equally prominent challenges. However, throughout his campaign, President-Elect Trump, his nominees, and his advisors have signaled that they will take a very different approach to AI regulation than what was outlined in the Biden-Harris Executive Order on AI issued on Oct. 30, 2023. So what can we expect in this dynamic political environment?
On Dec. 17, 2024, the House Bipartisan Task Force on Artificial Intelligence (the “Task Force”) published its comprehensive 253-page report (the “Report”), which provides guiding principles and recommendations that will serve as a blueprint on AI issues to be considered by Congress. While the Report addresses implications of AI usage and development within various domains such as national security, education, and intellectual property, stakeholders in the highly regulated health care industry will benefit from close attention to the Report’s recommendations surrounding AI in healthcare.
