Executive Summary
NHeLP submitted written testimony to the February 8, 2024 Senate Finance Committee meeting on AI and health care that highlighted our Principles for Fairer, More Responsive Automated Decision-Making Systems. We also asked that the Committee, in considering policy solutions to fairness in health care ADS, use a broad definition of AI, embrace our ADS Principles, and recognize that individuals receiving health care provided through a public benefit program such as Medicaid have specific rights and protections that demand greater transparency, nondiscrimination, and accountability than many AI fairness proposals include. The testimony also requests that business interests, such as trade secret and intellectual property, not be allowed to interfere with transparency.
