The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) are hosting a live Ask Me Anything on how artificial intelligence (AI) is being regulated in healthcare. This is your opportunity to hear directly from the National AI Commission and ask questions about what this means for you.
Register now and submit your questions in advance. This helps us focus on the issues that matter most to you as patients and the public.
About the event
In this session you can:
- learn more about the Commission’s work
- ask questions about how AI is being regulated and how this might develop
- hear open and honest responses
Your questions can cover anything, including:
- patient safety
- how decisions by the Commission are made
- what AI could mean for your care
If there are clear answers, we will share them.
If things are still being worked through, we will explain that too.
AI and your healthcare
AI has the potential to improve healthcare in many ways. It could help spot illness earlier, support doctors, and make care more effective.
But it is still new and developing quickly. There are important questions about how it should be used safely and responsibly.
Putting patients first
At the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), we put patients first in everything we do. We develop the rules for medicines and medical devices that help keep you safe.
About the National AI Commission
The National Commission into the Regulation of AI in Healthcare has been set up to help guide new frameworks for how AI can be used safely in healthcare.
It brings together experts from across healthcare, science, technology and policy, including clinicians, researchers, industry leaders and regulators.
By bringing these different perspectives together, the Commission is working through the key questions this technology raises.
It will make recommendations to the MHRA to help us shape the rules that:
- protect patients
- support innovation
- make sure people can benefit from new technologies
This is not about holding innovation back. It is about getting it right.
Listening to the public
We are not making decisions about AI in healthcare on our own.
We’ve been speaking directly to patients, the public, and people with lived experience to understand what matters most to them.
This has included:
- our Call for Evidence online, where over 770 people shared their views
- workshops and conversations with patient groups and communities
- public research exploring how people feel about the use of AI in healthcare
Through this, people told us what matters most. This includes keeping patients safe, being clear about how AI is used, and making sure there is effective human oversight.
What we’ve heard is helping to shape the Commission’s work.
Now, we want to build on this by hearing directly from you.
Your voice matters
This is about your care.
Your voice matters in shaping how AI is used in healthcare.
