Sen. Wyden Says Congress Lags on Regulating AI in Health Care

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee, said Washington has fallen behind on regulating the use of AI in health care and stressed the need for guardrails to protect patients. Wyden noted that while AI is touted as something that "might help save my cousin who has such and such disease," the question of whether guardrails are needed has not been answered quickly enough, warning that the debate over AI in health care has been slow to develop in Congress.
