Summary
Examines the opportunities, risks, and governance needs associated with using artificial intelligence throughout evidence-informed health policymaking. Maps AI use across problem definition, policy design, implementation, monitoring, and adjustment and discusses impact assessments, readiness reviews, human verification, human decision gateways, multidisciplinary oversight, transparency, participation, and rights protections.
Healthcare Implications
Health ministries, public-health agencies, regulators, and health-policy organizations can use the paper to inform governance of AI-assisted evidence retrieval, synthesis, forecasting, policy analysis, implementation, and monitoring. It emphasizes that AI should augment rather than replace human judgment and that decision-makers remain responsible for evidence quality, context, inclusion, and ethical tradeoffs.
