'Faster is better' for AI, HHS' Jim O'Neill says as agency looks to bulk up tech talent
Leaders at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are bullish on artificial intelligence to help patients manage health conditions and make the healthcare system more cost-effective, and they're betting on the private sector to bring new innovation to the market.
The Trump administration has signaled it wants to "move faster" with health data sharing and AI-based tools.
The federal government needs to set the guardrails and build the foundational infrastructure and then get out of the way to let health tech companies do the innovation and build, according to Amy Gleason, acting administrator of the U.S. DOGE Service and strategic advisor at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
