During a briefing with members of the State Duma, Mishustin highlighted that meaningful progress in science and industry hinges on the responsible use of AI. He cautioned that outright bans would not solve fundamental questions about algorithms and decision making, but rather could slow progress that might eventually serve public well being. He suggested a pragmatic approach: analyze the rational essence of limits, engage in constructive dialogue, and pursue measures that safeguard safety, privacy, and ethics without stifling beneficial application. — DEA News

Separately, researchers from prestigious medical centers, including Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, have explored how ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence tools can assist clinicians. They found that AI-powered information and guidance can help patients with complex conditions such as cirrhosis and liver cancer by presenting explanations in accessible terms and supporting shared decision making. The ultimate aim is to improve patient outcomes through clearer communication and evidence-based recommendations. — DEA News
