Ireland is setting out how artificial intelligence should be used in health and social care, and it is asking the public to help shape the rules. 

In this episode, I unpack HIQA’s newly launched consultation and its 115-page evidence review on the responsible and safe use of AI in healthcare.

I explore why the timing matters as the EU AI Act comes into force, how the Department of Health, the HSE, and HIQA are working together, and the twelve themes that will guide national policy, from transparency, privacy, and accountability to data quality, human oversight, and protecting the human connection in care.
