Gastroenterology and Artificial Intelligence: 4th Annual Global Artificial Intelligence Summit | August 2022-The Big Question: Who Will Pay for AI?

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker discusses the payment mechanisms for AI in the medical field. They mention that in radiology, the federal government previously provided add-on payments for the use of computer-aided detection in mammography. However, many mammographers did not find it useful and often had to remove the CAD marks from images. The speaker mentions various payment models, such as the new technology add-on payment (NTAP), fee-for-service healthcare, and value-based care. They explain that sustained adoption of AI may be challenging in fee-for-service models, but as value-based payment models mature, AI can be a valuable tool in delivering high-quality care at decreased costs. The speaker also discusses the question of who should receive payment for AI systems, mentioning possibilities like patients, healthcare professionals, healthcare systems, health insurance companies, or AI companies and developers. They touch on the legal liability issues associated with AI and the need to address them in terms of absolute liability and potential insurance models. Overall, the speaker emphasizes the unknown landscape and various considerations surrounding the payment for AI in healthcare. No credits are mentioned for the video transcript.
