FUTURE-AI: Best practices for trustworthy AI in medicine

FUTURE-AI is an international, multi-stakeholder initiative for defining and maintaining concrete guidelines that will facilitate the design, development, validation and deployment of trustworthy AI solutions in medicine and healthcare based on six guiding principles: Fairness, Universality, Traceability, Usability, Robustness and Explainability.

FUTURE-AI: International consensus guideline for trustworthy and deployable artificial intelligence in healthcare

This paper describes the FUTURE-AI guideline as the first international consensus framework for guiding the development and deployment of trustworthy AI tools in healthcare. The recommendations cover the entire lifecycle of medical AI, from design, development and validation to regulation, deployment, and monitoring.
