Bipartisan House Task Force Releases Report On AI

On December 17, the House Bipartisan Task Force on AI delivered its report to Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY). The Task Force, created earlier this year, is led by Chairman Jay Obernolte (R-CA) and Co-Chair Ted Lieu (D-CA), with 12 Republicans and 12 Democrats participating. The report was informed by multiple hearings, roundtables, and engagement with experts in various industries to "investigate dozens of issues at the heart of how AI intersects with numerous policy areas."

The report's findings about health care were that AI's use in health care can potentially reduce administrative burdens and accelerate drug development and clinical diagnosis and that the lack of ubiquitous, uniform standards for medical data and algorithms impedes system interoperability and data sharing.
