Suspension<\/strong>: Utah&#8217;s Medical Licensing Board suspended a pilot program with AI company Doctronic due to lack of clinical oversight, highlighting potential risks to patients.<\/li>\n<li><strong>State vs. Federal Regulatory Challenges<\/strong>: There is a fragmented regulatory landscape at the state level with over 250 bills considered, but the FDA&#8217;s traditional framework is ill-suited for adaptive AI.<\/li>\n<li><strong>AI\u2019s Clinical Potential<\/strong>: AI has shown significant improvements in medical tasks, indicating that autonomous AI can deliver competent care, especially in areas with physician shortages.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Regulatory Shortcomings<\/strong>: The FDA\u2019s rigid approval process for medical devices doesn\u2019t adapt to continually improving AI systems, slowing down its deployment and acceptance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Adapting Licensing Model for AI<\/strong>: Proposed framework by Robert Wachter, Ezekiel Emanuel, and Alon Bergman outlines the four elements necessary to regulate autonomous clinical AI: demonstrated competency, defined scope of practice, ongoing monitoring, and federal oversight.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Addressing Objections<\/strong>: The proposal addresses state concerns, equivalence with physicians, and the implementation capacity of the regulatory framework, emphasizing a national competency standard for AI.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Need for Federal Framework<\/strong>: Without a coherent federal framework, regions with doctor shortages will continue lacking access to potentially beneficial AI technology while states struggle with ad hoc deployments and regulatory chaos.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Call to Action for Congress<\/strong>: Urging Congress to establish a federal Office of Clinical AI Oversight to standardize regulation and provide a coherent approach to integrating AI into the healthcare system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to license AI doctors https:\/\/www.statnews.com\/2026\/05\/11\/ai-doctors-licenses-utah-doctronic-pilot\/ Publish
