Matt Rosendale, R-Mont., who last month led a separate subcommittee hearing on data privacy and artificial intelligence at VA, asked about the department\u2019s responsibility to notify and receive informed consent from veterans when their information is used with an \u201cAI model,\u201d or when an analysis was completed by AI rather than a person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Worthington said his office is working with the Veterans Health Administration\u2019s ethics group to develop an approach on that topic, but there is not yet a specific timeline for implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhile AI can be a powerful tool, we must adopt it with proper controls, oversight and security,\u201d he said earlier in the hearing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lawmakers questioned VA officials on best practices for employing artificial intelligence technology to improve health care and
