Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Definition

Any computational system that performs tasks indicative of human intelligence, broadly defined in legislation to distinguish valid tools from misleading automation.

Compliance Relevance

The broad legal definition ensures no system escapes oversight. Even rules-based bots fall under this purview if they simulate human interaction.

Why It Matters

Assume ALL automated patient-facing tools are 'AI'. Label everything as 'Automated System' or 'AI Assistant' to avoid 'failure to disclose' penalties.

Related Terms

Clinical Decision Support (CDS)

Health IT tools providing clinical knowledge and patient-related information to enhance health care.

Data Provenance
