Public engagement and collaborative partnerships with the private sector "throughout the innovation pipeline" can help ensure that AI tools are being equitably used and deployed, HHS said in its AI strategic plan.

If participants in our survey had one message for their government, it was to start regulating AI. A majority (58 per cent) felt that the risks of an unregulated AI tech sector was greater than the risk that government regulation might stifle AI's future development (15 per cent). Around 20 per cent weren't sure.

Over 60% of adults value being notified about AI in healthcare, underscoring the importance of transparency and ethical considerations in health systems.

To say there is a lot of hype about AI is an understatement. Yet a pragmatic policy discussion is possible, and the public is more ready than we might think.
