Who's Running QC on Artificial Intelligence?

Why we should stop treating AI as an information technology problem and start governing it like our other laboratory instruments

1

AI tools in medicine are rapidly being deployed without adequate governance frameworks for validation and performance monitoring.
2

Health systems often misclassify AI as an IT problem, neglecting the need for rigorous oversight akin to clinical laboratory standards.
3

Clinical AI tools can silently degrade in performance, leading to potential misdiagnoses without visible alerts for clinicians.
4

There is a lack of clarity on accountability and regulatory frameworks for AI tools, leaving clinicians unaware of validation processes.
5

Pathologists and laboratory medicine professionals are uniquely qualified to establish governance structures for AI in healthcare.
