The Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum (APIAHF) submitted a comment to HHS to highlight critical considerations for Artificial Intelligence (AI) security and guardrails, workforce impacts and transparency as the Department of Health and Human Services considers AI adoption as part of clinical care.  

The healthcare industry was amongst the first to explore AI applications and earlier adopters to deploy AI to scale – from clinical workflows to insurance approvals and other automated applications – utilizing AI at more than twice the rate of the broader economy.[1][2] AI has already transformed the healthcare landscape, and to disregard its impacts, both positive and negative, can only harm patients. 

With a national network of over 300 community-based organizational partners in 44 states and territories, APIAHF is the nation’s oldest national health advocacy organization dedicated to improving the health and well-being of over 26.4 million Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (AANHPIs) who would be affected by these technologies.
