Can the world's smartest hospitals teach us how to govern AI safely?
NCT ID NCT07727603
First seen Jul 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study surveys senior digital-health leaders at 350 top-ranked smart hospitals worldwide to assess how they govern artificial intelligence. The goal is to understand current AI governance maturity and frameworks, then build a toolkit that helps other hospitals adopt AI responsibly. No treatments or devices are tested—only policies and practices are evaluated.

- If successful, this could produce a practical governance toolkit to help hospitals adopt AI safely and ethically.
- What could go wrong
