A clinical certification pathway for generalist medical AI systems There have been extensive evaluations of artificial intelligence (AI) systems for narrow medical tasks, but more work is needed to systematically evaluate and deploy AI systems that can perform a broad range of medical tasks. The medical training process itself might offer a template for addressing this challenge. Clinicians undergo rigorous education and training, progressing through stages of increasing responsibility and autonomy. Similarly, generalist medical AI systems could be subjected to a phased certification model before they are granted greater autonomy in patient care. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(24)02797-1/fulltext
