Artificial intelligence is changing the landscape of health care delivery and biomedical research, but policymakers lament the paucity of accessible–and urgently needed–advice and evidence to make informed responsible decisions in this new fast-evolving area. Bioethics has been dedicating much attention to the appropriate governance of health-AI, but this work is often not accessible to policymakers.

To close this gap, this 12-month project, beginning in October 2024, aims to translate bioethics research on artificial intelligence in health for use by policymakers.
