Australia’s peak medical association has called for strong rules and transparency around the use of artificial intelligence in the healthcare industry, after a warning to doctors in Perth-based hospitals not to write medical notes using ChatGPT.
The Australian Medical Association said in its submission to the federal government’s discussion paper on safe and responsible AI, seen by the Guardian, that Australia lags behind other comparable countries in regulating AI and noted that stronger rules are needed to protect patients and healthcare professionals, and to engender trust.
