AI technologies are increasingly used in healthcare, notably to assist medical professionals. However today in France, there is no harmonised public mechanism to certify that AI technologies used in healthcare are safe and trustworthy.
Given the inadequacy of the French regulatory arsenal in evaluating AI-enabled medical devices and the proliferation of various private initiatives to label technologies, public authorities should get involved. At Global Health Advocates France, we believe that the creation of a public label for AI in healthcare would be an important tool to harmonise the existing regulatory landscape while safeguarding the fundamental rights of every citizen.
