The Beijing Municipal Health Commission drafted regulations on Monday that would “strictly prohibit” using artificial intelligence (A.I.) systems to produce medical prescriptions.
The rules would restrict A.I. in various other ways, with the overall goal of ensuring A.I. “shall not replace the doctors to provide diagnosis and treatment services.”
The South China Morning Post (SCMP) noted that these regulations, if adopted in full, would “mark the first time a local government explicitly limits the use of generative A.I. in healthcare.”
The Chinese central government has promulgated some regulations on A.I. and, in fact, has yet to allow anything comparable to the famed ChatGPT system for consumers.
On the other hand, the Chinese Communist Party has often expressed a desire to take the leadership position on worldwide A.
