Foley & Lardner LLP senior counsel Aaron Maguregui chaired the American Telemedicine Association’s (ATA) Data Work Group in developing the organization’s new Artificial Intelligence (AI) Principles, designed to ensure trustworthy development, integration, and utilization of AI in order to maximize its potential benefits as a meaningful tool for patients and providers.

Key components of the ATA’s AI Principles include accountability and engagement, transparency and explainability, safeguards to mitigate against bias, clear regulatory guardrails, economic and workforce evolution, and privacy.

Maguregui also chaired the ATA’s Data Work Group in the development earlier this year of the organization’s Health Data Privacy Principles, designed to help telehealth practices meet standards for patient safety, data privacy, and information security, while advancing patient access and building telehealth awareness.
