NIH Guidance on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Research – August 2024
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has recently released a webpage on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Research: Policy Considerations and Guidance (external link), aimed to “guide stakeholders across the biomedical and behavioral research ecosystem.”
This NIH guidance provides “policies, best practices, and regulations,” specifically addressing the following topics:
- Research Participant Protections
- Data Management and Sharing
- Health Information Privacy
- Licensing, Intellectual Property, & Technology Transfer
- Peer Review
- Biosecurity and Biosafety
The Office of Research Compliance recommends this resource to researchers involved in the use of AI in research, particularly those conducting NIH-supported research.
