Knowledge Community on Responsible AI in Health

Grateful to have taken part in the WHO Regional Office for Europe’s first Knowledge Community on Responsible AI in Health. The Knowledge Community (KC) consisted of a five-week dialogue and brought together participants from 105 countries to explore together what responsible AI in health means in practice.

A key takeaway: “Governance readiness, not speed of deployment, should be the measure of responsible progress.” The report also calls for stronger participation and co-design with patients, communities and health professionals. The recommendation for WHO to support countries in embedding participation and codesign into AI governance was also great to see! I highly recommend checking out the KC report; it’s definitely well worth a read: https://www.who.int/europe/publications/i/item/WHO-EURO-2026-13381-53155-83077
