Manatt Launches AI Policy Tracker to Help Healthcare Professionals Keep Up with Rapidly Changing Field

As the landscape of AI laws and regulations continues to evolve, policymakers at both the federal and state levels are striving to balance the potential benefits of AI with concerns about safety, security, privacy, accuracy, and bias. To help healthcare professionals keep track of significant developments in this rapidly changing field, Manatt has launched a new Health AI Policy Tracker.

The tracker provides a comprehensive overview of federal and state policy developments relevant to the healthcare industry related to AI. It currently focuses on legislative and regulatory activities from January 1 to March 31, 2024, but updates will be provided quarterly, with the next update scheduled for June 2024. Users can access a state-by-state overview map with more details by clicking here.

Although there is currently no federal law governing AI, various government agencies are expected to introduce regulations to regulate its use in healthcare. The White House has already implemented some measures, while other federal agencies such as the ONC, CMS, OCR, FDA, DOJ, FTC are among those expected to propose laws and regulations governing AI. The surge in activity is anticipated in the latter part of 2024 and beyond as policymakers work towards meeting President Biden’s Executive Order on responsible AI deadlines.

Manatt on Health is a legal and health policy subscription service that covers evolving healthcare topics and trends. Subscribers will receive quarterly updates on findings from the AI Policy Tracker for more information on how this rapidly changing field is impacting healthcare professionals’ work lives.
