ABSTRACT

The adoption of AI in healthcare has outpaced education of the clinical workforce on responsible use of AI in patient care. While many policy statements advocate for safe, ethical, trustworthy AI, guidance on the use of health AI has rarely included patient perspectives. This gap leaves out a valuable source of information and guidance about what responsible AI means to patients. In this Viewpoint co-authored by patients, students, and faculty, we discuss a novel approach to integrating patient perspectives in undergraduate premedical education in the United States that aims to foster an inclusive and patient-centered future of AI in healthcare.
