- Brooks senior Will Moss ’26 has created the Health and AI Policy Index (HAPI), a public database that tracks healthcare AI legislation and governance efforts across various regulatory frameworks.
- HAPI aims to make healthcare AI governance more accessible and understandable, particularly at a time when policymakers and health systems are navigating a rapidly changing regulatory landscape.
- The project catalogs a variety of relevant documentation, including legislation, executive actions, regulatory guidance, and voluntary frameworks related to AI in healthcare at state, federal, and international levels.
- The interactive platform allows users to filter and explore policies by jurisdiction, stakeholder group, and impact level, providing summaries, implementation considerations, and trend analyses.
- HAPI was developed based on Moss’s experience in AI policy and governance at Mount Sinai and his background in internships related to federal and state government affairs.
- Experts believe tools like HAPI can help policymakers, researchers, and health systems navigate the complex regulatory landscape as AI integrates into clinical care.
- Moss emphasizes that the future governance of healthcare AI will depend not only on engineers but also on the policies and systems created around these technologies to ensure safety, transparency, oversight, and equity.
