The American Medical Association (AMA) lays out guidelines for how to develop, use, and regulate artificial intelligence (AI) in a medical context. The AMA refers to “augmented intelligence” specifically, reflecting its belief that AI will enhance, not replace, the work of physicians.

The AMA recommends that AI tools should be designed to identify and address bias, and avoid creating or exacerbating disparities in the treatment of vulnerable populations. They also state that AI tools should be transparent and protect patient privacy.
