00:02From research to diagnosis and treatment,
00:05It tells me what the key finding is.
00:07Artificial intelligence is transforming healthcare.
00:10Doctors are already using the technology
00:13and the vast majority of doctors are not nervous about it.
00:17Not nervous, but grappling with questions of security,
00:20privacy, consent and application of the technology
00:23as it continues to evolve.
00:25We want to ensure that the right questions are asked
00:29and that the guardrails are noted and respected.
00:32The Australian Medical Association has written to Premier Peter Malinowskis,
00:36calling for the state's upcoming Royal Commission into AI,
00:40to ask those questions,
00:41arguing that published evidence on the technology in healthcare is lacking.
00:46As clinicians, we seek AI tools that help us and our patients.
00:50Not one AI tool deployed in Australian healthcare
00:53has demonstrated that publicly.
00:55The group wants the Commission to require tech companies
00:58to hand over documents, including data and contracts.
01:02This is the same test that we would apply to any new drug
01:07or any new operation that we are developing for patient care.
01:11The Premier says the Royal Commission will look at health.
01:13There's no detail yet on what that will entail.
01:16Some of the things that need to be contemplated by the Royal Commission
01:19is how we think about the utilisation of AI in government service delivery
01:24and a really good example is health.
01:26The Royal Commission terms of reference and commissioners
01:29are still yet to be announced,
01:30but time's ticking with the Commission to officially begin in October.
01:34It will report back to the Government by July next year.
01:37.
