Prioritizing AI for health is crucial, given its potential to enhance healthcare and address global health challenges, including the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals. The urgency is exacerbated by a significant pacing gap, with technology outpacing legal frameworks. WHO is actively guiding Member States, developing ethical standards, and convening expert groups to address these challenges, promoting responsible AI development, and fostering collaboration among stakeholders to mitigate risks and safeguard public health and trust. 

WHO envisions a future where AI serves as a powerful force for innovation, equity, and ethical integrity in healthcare. The overall goal is to help Member States take AI to the people to enable enhanced, sustainable, and smarter health care.
