The healthcare system is at a critical juncture, facing challenges like workforce shortages and rising costs. Artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a potential solution to enhance efficiency and equity in care delivery. However, the debate centers on whether to regulate AI technologies or allow a free-market approach to drive innovation.
Regulation has historically built public trust in healthcare, exemplified by the FDA's role in ensuring safety and efficacy. Yet, overregulation can hinder innovation, particularly for smaller companies, as seen with the delays faced by AI tools like Butterfly iQ. A balanced approach that combines regulation and deregulation could foster an environment where AI can thrive responsibly and effectively.
