  • The new key recommendations by WHO are -

  1. Ensuring through policies and regulations that LMMs used in healthcare are ethically correct

  2. A new regulatory agency for assigning and approving LMMs is to be made

  3. There should be an investment in not-for-profit or public infrastructure that requires users to adhere to ethical principles and values in exchange for access

  4. Mandatory post-release impacts and assessments need to be done

  5. The guidance also details broader risks to health systems, such as accessibility and affordability of the best-performing LMMs

  • Dr Alain Labrique, WHO Director for Digital Health and Innovation in the Science Division, stated that Governments from all countries must cooperatively lead efforts to effectively regulate the development and use of AI technologies, such as LMMs
