Few new technologies have developed with such speed or engendered such contrasting emotions of anxiety and fear and hope and excitement as AI. While we understand the concerns in other sectors, healthcare has been an early adopter of AI, and the opportunities for new drugs, products, services, treatments, and better patient outcomes with the help of AI are real and substantial.There has been a range of governance and regulatory initiatives, including the US Executive Order on AI Standards for Safety and Security, the G7 Code of Conduct, the passing of the European AI Act and the Digital Health Society & I~HD AI Club Report “Creating the environment of trust and acceptance that maximises the benefits of AI in healthcare”.Our Round Table interactive session will occur in person in New York and virtually between the panellists and the audiences at the UNGA79 Science Summit. It will strive to present a better balance to discussions around the use of AI in healthcare. Discussions will cover:- Diagnostics and Treatment
