Safe and Responsible Artificial Intelligence in Health Care – Legislation and Regulation Review

Productivity Commission submission

The Productivity Commission (PC) made a submission to the Department of Health and Aged Care consultation, Safe and Responsible Artificial Intelligence in Health Care – Legislation and Regulation Review.

This submission provides information on the opportunities for artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, drawing from the PC’s recent research. The PC finds:

  • AI has significant productive potential.
  • Regulation already covers most risks, and any new regulation should be technology-agnostic.
  • There are real challenges to getting data access right.

The PC provided the submission to the review on 4 December 2024 and published on our website on 11 December 2024.
