Few things hold more promise, or cause more stress for compliance professionals, than AI. What is it?  How does it work? And does anyone know how to keep it from showing so much bias?

David Silva, Chief Compliance Officer at Collaborative Imaging, will be addressing the topic of “Healthcare, Artificial Intelligence, and Compliance” at the 2025 HCCA Compliance Institute, which will takes place April 28-May 1 in Las Vegas. To get some of his insights now, we sat down  for this podcast.

David explains that part of the challenge is that AI is so fast changing that it’s hard to keep up. We don’t yet know what we don’t know about it.

At the same time, though, the technology is showing great promise in healthcare in areas such as coding, simple reports and helping with third-party vetting.

Compliance teams have an important role to play in the implementation of AI in healthcare, he explains. Ideally, they should be a part of the AI governance team, working with a broad range of departments and helping to ensure that programs are monitored to avoid issues with privacy or the False Claims Act, for example.

So how should compliance professionals become a valued and effective part of AI efforts? He advocates for staying engaged and pushing to be invited to meetings. When there, keep your ear to the ground, learn more about operational workflows, and try to make sure that AI does what it is supposed to do, without crossing legal and regulatory lines.
