These are just some of the ways AI is already fundamentally transforming health care, and because of the benefits to patients, we see it as our job to advance AI as quickly and safely as possible. Because of AI-assisted research, our ability to catch some of the most devastating diseases early, like breast cancer, is looking more promising than ever before. And we know benefits like these will extend well beyond our hospital walls, providing improved monitoring for patients who are healing at home.

We understand that the integration of artificial intelligence in health care raises important questions about ethics and privacy. Our AI governance structure, created and sustained by Mount Sinai’s Digital Technology Partners, exists for this reason. The committees within it define policies and standards for the ethical and effective use of AI technologies throughout the Health System.

The promise of AI remains positive as long as we embrace the human values that the Mount Sinai Health System practices every day: safety, agility, empathy, teamwork, and creativity.

In this new dawn of possibility, we pledge to continue placing patients front and center, forever.
