Google, Amazon and Microsoft give input to new health AI standard -

The US-based Consumer Technology Association (CTA) has developed the first ever accredited standard for use of artificial intelligence in health care, with input from tech giants such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. More than 50 organisations, from tech giants to startups and healthcare industry leaders, have developed the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) accredited quality mark. The standard is part of the CTA's new initiative on AI and is the first in a series that aims to set a foundation for implementing medical and health care solutions built on the technology. One issue that the standard aims to resolve is the way that AI-related terms are used in different ways, leading to confusion, particularly in the healthcare industry. The standard defines over 30 terms including machine learning, model bias, artificial neural network and trustworthiness.
