"WHO's Guidance on AI Ethics and Governance in Healthcare"

The World Health Organization has released new guidance on the ethics and governance of large multi-modal models (LMMs), a type of generative artificial intelligence technology with applications in healthcare. The guidance outlines over 40 recommendations for governments, technology companies, and healthcare providers to ensure the appropriate use of LMMs and highlights potential benefits and risks associated with their use in health care. Key recommendations include the need for transparent information and policies to manage the design, development, and use of LMMs to achieve better health outcomes and overcome persisting health inequities.
