"Doctors, researchers and experts from tech firms will work together to accelerate the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the NHS while maintaining patient safety, officials have announced. The new national commission will advise the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) on fresh guidelines to speed up access to the latest innovations. The recommendations from the group will support the digital transformation of the health service, with the MHRA stressing that it is crucial that AI regulation maintains patient safety and public confidence."
"Ministers said the work will also ensure the UK leads the way in making game-changing technologies available to patients. AI is already being used by the NHS to analyse brain scans from stroke patients, while around half of trusts are using the technology to help diagnose the likes of lung cancer. The commission, established by the MHRA, will bring together experts from companies such as of Google and Microsoft,"
