Artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) is the use of digital technology to create systems capable of performing tasks commonly thought to require human intelligence. This guidance focuses on the information governance implications of using AI in health and care settings, and should help support the lawful and safe use of data for AI innovations.
These IG pages provide clear and consistent IG advice and guidance to patients and service users, health and care staff and IG professionals. NHS England convenes a working group to check and challenge the guidance.
