Rutta, CEO of the NHC. "AI has enormous potential to make quality healthcare more accessible and affordable, but it must also be responsible and trusted.

Founder, CEO and Board Member Quotes "It is clear that in order to achieve that mission, we need to look beyond just the AI models and analyze the care workflows in which the models embed, the characteristics of the population we attempt to benefit with AI as well as the social and cultural milieu in which the use occurs." – Dr. Nigam Shah, co-founder and board member "The potential of AI in healthcare is extraordinary. The Coalition for Health AI was established to bring together diverse stakeholders for discovery, learning, and the sharing of best practices, with a focus on the responsible development and fielding of the technologies. Our united mission is to accelerate the journey from promising AI innovations into transformative benefits in the real world of healthcare and healing." – Dr. Eric Horvitz, co-founder and board member "I've spent the last decade building and deploying AI products. A lot of energy needs to go into verifying a product's performance before it is deployed and then it must be monitored. Best practices to ensure AI's accuracy and safety are not obvious to non-experts. Given the explosion of AI developers and the rapid pace of AI research, we need a way to ensure best practices are both clear and being followed. CHAI was created to address this gap in healthcare." – Suchi Saria, co-founder and board member "I'm so incredibly thankful to MITRE for helping to invest in standing up CHAI and getting us to this point. CHAI will contribute to operationalizing the safe, equitable and trustworthy deployment of AI across the U.S. health system—an ambitious approach at a critical time. We are partnering with healthcare practitioners, patients, government, tech leaders, startups and other stakeholders across the industry to develop an ecosystem built on curiosity and open-mindedness. Together, we will develop agreed-upon practices and the ability to evaluate AI systems for healthcare." – Dr. Brian Anderson, CEO "We are at a precipice of unprecedented changes to healthcare that AI will bring. It is more important than ever to develop the right frameworks for trustworthy health AI that put the human person on top of the hierarchy to make sure the technology offers service and benefit to all. I am excited to be a part of the Coalition for Health AI to help create a future where responsible AI practices are the cornerstone." – Michael Pencina, board member "Decades of research have brought us to a transformative moment for AI and the applications in medicine are unbounded. CHAI is dedicated to meeting urgent concerns pertaining to safe, fair, and effective use of AI in healthcare. Through interdisciplinary collaborations, we will create accessible frameworks and tools to best support responsible innovation." – Morgan Cheatham, board member About CHAI In April, the Coalition for Health AI (CHAI™) released its "Blueprint for Trustworthy AI Implementation Guidance and Assurance for Healthcare". In December 2023, CHAI published its proposal for "A Nationwide Network of Health AI Assurance Laboratories".
