Overview
The AMA STEPS Forward® Innovation Academy Learning Collaboratives are designed to help implement organizational improvements in important areas of practice. Guided by subject matter experts, participants are encouraged to share, learn, iterate, and improve upon their own efforts in a supportive, communal environment.
The AMA uses the term "augmented intelligence" to emphasize AI's role in assisting and enhancing human intelligence, rather than replacing it. The AI governance learning collaborative will help participants build a framework for the implementation of AI that supports the ethical, equitable, responsible and transparent use of AI in practice.
