I thought it was worth letting people know about this:
-----
"AIDH is working with the
Australian Alliance for Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare on
developing a national policy agenda for AI in healthcare.
It
is our intention that the policy agenda be backed by evidence and
high-level expertise so that it can assist all levels of government,
industry and civil society to maximise the benefits and minimise the
risks of this transformational technology.
Monday's
Fellow Lounge is the first stop in our national consultation and
research work which will feed into the preparation of a draft policy
document. As Fellows of AIDH you are a key stakeholder group and we
value your input. Dr David Hansen FAIDH, CEO Australian E-Health
Research Centre CSIRO will facilitate the conversation and we will be
joined by Prof Enrico Coiera FAIDH, founder AAAiH and Prof Karin
Verspoor FAIDH, Victoria AAAiH Lead.
Thanks,
Kristal

While this meeting may not be accessible to all the note provides useful contacts and a pointer as to where to look for further activity and information,
It seems to me that with the new AI models we may be on some sort of new threshold as to what is possible and what is being done and that awareness of what is going on will be ever more vital!
I really suspect it is hard to underestimate the impact of tools like ChatGPT - 4 may have in coming months. (not years!)
Comments welcome on other perspectives!

Note: I plan to very gradually post more info here as I recover from my various maladies. Any tips on information to be shared here welcome!!!!

If we can safe guard sensitive data and the rights of all these are very useful tools. Still there is the human factor to contend with and our species has no shortage of fools or those who want to exploit foolishness with an indifference to harm caused .
Re. AI in health. What is the legal position? Who is responsible for the advice, especially if it results in harm?
Shudder to think what the ADHA and PHNs are playing around with under the “opt-out” approach to life. Does anyone know of anything being undertaken? I cannot imagine either group being able to resist the temptation to mine all that lovely data without constraints.
Many AI & biz tools focus on correlation not causation. Need to understand causation & certainties before setting/changing clinical behaviours/guidelines.
Some UK groups are avoiding full ethics approvals by claiming their research is based on admin/performance data & data already collected (eg. Patient questionnaires). Papers involving people like Trudie Chalder. But they ultimately want to dictate clinical treatment & guidelines for certain conditions these authors don't understand, don't listen to contrary evidence, don't listen to other experts & don't listen to patients. But they make sure biased subjective measures are used instead of publicising the objective measures that show null results.
