The AI Act and patient’s rights

The EU AI Act is part of the European Union’s efforts to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for artificial intelligence systems. The legislation aims to set clear rules for AI development, deployment, and use within the EU, addressing concerns related to ethics, accountability, transparency, and fundamental rights. The AI Act was adopted in June 2024, and certain prohibitions came into force early 2025. There is still much to be done to ensure that the AI Act protects health and patient’s rights. HAI will continue to engage with standards development processes and monitor the policy decisions that are made as we move towards implementation of the Act. We will continue our advocacy to ensure that AI in healthcare is trustworthy, fair, equitable and contributes to patient outcomes and wellbeing.
