By
Joyce Frieden
Summary
The American Medical Association (AMA) has adopted a policy requiring that AI tools in medicine be used under the supervision and direction of physicians. At its annual meeting, the AMA's House of Delegates passed a resolution advocating for legislation and regulation that ensures AI integrates with physician-led teams rather than replacing clinical judgment. The policy emphasizes that physicians must remain in charge of AI output to protect patient safety and maintain quality of care.
