on the proposed dismantling of AHRQ We need safety research to protect our patients from harms in health care. No organization in the world does more for that than AHRQ. Let the general public know.

There is a growing US push for clinical AI safety to be certified by academic assurance labs rather than the FDA. But there are many challenges - conflicts of interest via industry funding to universities, scaleability, and suitability to post-market monitoring.

Who should certify health AI is safe? There is a push in the US for it not to be the FDA but instead, the industry that manufactures the technology. Do we have good examples of high risk technology applications where there has been effective self regulation?

"The important thing is that paper makes it very clear that nobody should ever take LLMs at their word. They can easily tell you one thing and (especially if hooked up as agents) do another ā possibly quite contrary to what they have alleged they are doing." - Gary Marcus, from the linked substack.
