In collaboration with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Deputy Secretary’s office, the Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy/Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ASTP/ONC) has released a request for information (RFI) focused on one big question: What would it look like if we put the whole of HHS toward accelerating the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in clinical care? This RFI builds on the recently published HHS AI Strategy and the administration’s overall AI policy framework.

It’s that time of the year when we all close out annual processes. In this case, we at the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy (ASTP) through the hard work of our Office of the Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer (OCAIO) are pleased to let you know that HHS’ 2024 AI Use Case Inventory is available for review.

Last week I had the opportunity to testify before the House Energy and Commerce Committee. During this second hearing on artificial intelligence (AI), I shared work that I’m doing on behalf of HHS to support President Biden’s Executive Order on harnessing the potential and mitigating the risks of AI. I’m grateful for the opportunity to discuss this work with the Committee. My oral testimony follows, and my full written testimony is also available on the Energy and Commerce Committee website.
