AI is transforming society, but it also presents challenges. The creation of Spain's AI Supervisory Agency shows the importance of organized structures. Following this example ensures AI innovation aligns with values and rights, for a responsible AI future https://t.co/AqoZKOa4wS

AI in healthcare holds promise, but its practical application often lags due to a lack of robust HIT evaluation frameworks. For safe+scalable AI we need comprehensive strategies that address technology, user, and organizational focus and ELSA challenges.
