We have heard from people in surveys and community discussions that the public wants to know that AI is used in their care. What might this look like? Transparency by way of a label–along the lines of a nutrition or product information label–is one proposed strategy for communicating trustworthiness.
In a series of community discussions on AI in Healthcare with people living in Southeast Michigan (n=159), we heard about the importance of transparency, human connection, and the role of healthcare providers in the use of AI tools.
Across these sessions, participants highlighted the need for information about demonstrated health improvement, privacy protection, health equity, and safety and efficacy in a health AI label. Also important is a description of how an AI tool fits into clinical workflows.
