What this bill would do
This bill is known as the Healthcare Enhancement And Learning Through Harnessing Artificial Intelligence Act or the HEALTH AI Act. It directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to set up a grant program for researching how generative artificial intelligence can be used in health care. Eligible groups that can receive these grants include higher education institutions, certain tax-exempt organizations, and government or Indian Tribe agencies. The research can look at using generative artificial intelligence to improve doctor notes, cut down paperwork for clinicians, speed up insurance claims, and better customer service. When handing out these grants, the Secretary must give priority to groups that focus on areas like workforce development, reducing health disparities, and helping medically underserved populations.
