OECD report AI and the Health Workforce - a conversation

This OECD report examines medical associations' perspectives on integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into healthcare. The study, conducted through a survey and interviews, explores both the potential benefits of AI in addressing workforce shortages and improving healthcare efficiency, and the associated risks, such as ethical concerns, liability issues, and data privacy challenges. Key findings reveal that while medical associations largely see AI as beneficial, significant concerns remain about responsible implementation, the need for increased digital literacy, and the establishment of clear ethical and legal frameworks. The report concludes with recommendations for skill development, workforce adaptation, and the safe management of AI in healthcare systems
