Abstract

BACKGROUND: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly being integrated into healthcare to improve diagnostics, treatment planning, and operational efficiency. However, its adoption raises significant concerns related to data privacy, ethical integrity, and regulatory compliance. While much of the existing literature focuses on the clinical applications of AI, limited attention has been given to the perspectives of Information Governance (IG) professionals, who play a critical role in ensuring responsible and compliant AI implementation within healthcare systems.
