AMA Wrestles with AI But Acts on Prior Authorization, Other Concerns

Healthcare policy advisor Miranda Franco was quoted in a Medscape Medical News article about the American Medical Association's (AMA) efforts to address the challenges and opportunities that artificial intelligence (AI) presents for the healthcare industry. The article highlighted the AMA's ongoing work to develop policies and guidelines for the responsible use of AI in medical practice, while also noting the organization's recent actions on other pressing issues such as prior authorization and access to care. Ms. Franco provided insight into the congressional landscape surrounding AI regulation, emphasizing the Senate's bipartisan "road map" as a key effort to watch.

"I think this is all going to be slow and rolling, not big and sweeping," she said. "I don't think we're going to see an encompassing AI bill."
