A new paper, “Building the Foundations for Trustworthy AI in Pediatrics,” examines what makes AI deployment in pediatrics different and what infrastructure is needed to make it trustworthy.

They outline the need for data systems, governance structures, validation frameworks, and public-trust infrastructure, and close with recommendations for clinicians, caregivers, health systems, government, technologists, and academic institutions.
