The KC will focus on addressing practical and policy-relevant questions around the responsible use of AI in health. Discussions will focus on how countries can apply responsible AI to improve health outcomes and achieve optimal use of resources, while ensuring equity and sustainability. The community will begin by exploring the following guiding question: What actions are required to ensure that AI is both ethically sound and economically sustainable?

The KC aims to enhance the understanding among stakeholders of key challenges and policy options related to AI implementation in health. The insights gathered will be synthesized in a summary report, produced as a WHO output. This report will be published on the WHO/Europe website under the Chatham House Rule, with no attribution to individual contributions.
The KC also contributes to the broader EU-funded action “Supporting Member States in the WHO European Region in Strengthening Health Information Systems and Boosting Health Data Governance.” It will serve as a dedicated platform for cross-sectoral collaboration and will align with the principles of the European Health Data Space (EHDS), promoting responsible and ethical use of AI through improved governance and interoperability.
