The Albany Gazette - The Critical Need for Governance, Risk, and Compliance in Healthcare AI

The Risks of Unregulated AI in Healthcare
AI applications in healthcare, such as natural language processing for clinical transcription or machine learning for disease diagnosis, carry inherent risks:

• Bias and Inequity: AI models trained on biased datasets can perpetuate disparities in care.

• Regulatory Non-Compliance: HIPAA, GDPR, and emerging AI-specific regulations require rigorous adherence.

• Lack of Transparency: "Black box" algorithms undermine trust in AI-driven decisions.

Without GRC programs, healthcare organizations risk financial penalties, reputational damage, patient safety breaches, and, most critically, potential patient harm.

The NIST AI Risk Management Framework: A Roadmap for Healthcare
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) AI Risk Management Framework (RMF) 1.0 and NIST AI 600-1, provide a structured approach to mitigate these risks for both Narrow and General AI. Key steps include:

• Governance: Establish clear accountability for AI systems, including oversight committees and ethical guidelines.

• Risk Assessment: Identify and prioritize risks specific to AI use cases (e.g., diagnostic errors in image analysis).

• Compliance Integration: Align AI deployments with existing healthcare regulations and future-proof for evolving standards.

Newton3's GRC NIST Certification Toolkit helps organizations implement this framework, ensuring AI systems are transparent, explainable (XAI), and auditable.
