Surgeon Discusses Governance Framework for AI in Surgery

June 2, 2026

Clear governance frameworks are essential for the responsible adoption of artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled clinical decision support systems in surgery. Without them, healthcare organizations risk inconsistent implementation, variations in care quality, and the potential amplification of algorithmic bias. Listen to Dr. Abbas Hassan discuss his recent Journal of the American College of Surgeons article outlining a governance framework for AI in surgery. The framework focuses on four core themes: technical prerequisites and model design; clinical implementation and human factors; ethics, safety, and trustworthiness; and bias, fairness, and equity.
