Abstract
In an environment of rapidly evolving technology and expanding development and use of health AI, it is critical to establish shared guidance and alignment to ensure the best health outcomes for the public. In 2024, the U.S. National Academy of Medicine published, for public comment, a draft AI Code of Conduct framework, with Code Principles and Code Commitments, synthesizing the field�s best thinking to align industry players regarding the responsible application of health AI. National experts and patient advocates were then convened to gather perspectives on real-world applications to address the Code Commitments: advance humanity, ensure equity, engage impacted individuals, improve workforce well-being, monitor performance, and innovate and learn. The National Academy of Medicine AI Code of Conduct special publication is now available.
