MIx can play a role in assuring that both are aligned. If AI and machine learning algorithms do not align improvement in individual health with adherence to guidelines, then the guideline should not apply clinically. This is a key issue in medical device and digital health tech. It would be terribly unethical for a government to subsidize an AI algorithm that knowingly damages individual health to save cost.
One issue that AI could help with currently is the deployment of AI to help with digital security. NHK World had a report yesterday that the Japanese government had deployed AI to assist in the identification of IoT devices in Japan that were vulnerable to digital attack. The Japanese government was then working with ISPs in Japan to notify the ISP of the vulnerabilities on their networks. Something similar to this is required for IoMT devices globally.
