Gemma Warren, Policy Manager, Data and AI Artificial intelligence is moving quickly in health and care - and for organisations like the HRA, that raises an important question: how do we make sure innovation is happening safely, ethically and with patients at the centre? That’s one of the reasons we’ve been closely engaging with theMHRA’s AI Airlockover the past two years. The Airlock is a space where regulators and developers can come together to work through some of the trickiest questions around AI in healthcare. It’s deliberately designed as a kind of ‘safe testing ground’ - somewhere you can explore emerging technologies, challenge assumptions and develop regulatory thinking before things are widely deployed.
