Healthcare organizations are tasked with protecting 50% more sensitive data than the global average, and cyberattacks in this sector can quickly escalate into life-and-death issues by disrupting critical patient care. As the healthcare industry accelerates its adoption of AI, safeguarding this sensitive patient information and maintaining operational continuity are more critical than ever.
“The potential for AI to transform healthcare is immense, but scaling it responsibly requires strict guardrails, timely operational recovery, and the ability to comprehensively monitor, govern, and rewind AI actions,” said Josh Howell, Healthcare Chief Technology Officer, Rubrik. “By joining CHAI, Rubrik is bringing our expertise to the broader health ecosystem. In collaboration with CHAI and its members, we aim to redefine cyber resilience and governance in the wake of AI, so that the next generation of health is secure.”
“I am thrilled to welcome Rubrik to our growing community of organizations committed to advancing effective and responsible health AI,” said Brian Anderson, CHAI’s CEO. “We are driven by the engagement and expertise of our members and the feedback of our broader health ecosystem and the public. We look forward to working together to unlock the potential benefits of AI, on a foundation of trust, safety, and security.”
As a coalition bringing together leaders and experts across the community of health systems, patient advocates, researchers, professional associations, start-ups and established technology providers, CHAI has established working groups focusing on privacy and security, transparency, usefulness, and safety of AI algorithms. CHAI recently established its first Model Card registry to support the rapid growth of model cards, or ‘nutrition labels’ for health AI, used to simplify procurement among health systems and solution providers.
CHAI was started by clinicians. Today, it includes nearly 3,000 organizations, including health systems, patient advocacy groups, academia, and a wide range of industry start-ups and incumbents. CHAI is committed to convening and dialogue to achieve consensus.
