Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR) led the medical community in Australia and New Zealand in considering the impact of machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) in health care. RANZCR identified that medical leadership was largely absent from these discussions, with a notable absence of activity from governments in the Australasian region up to 2019. The clinical radiology and radiation oncology sectors were considered ripe for the adoption of AI, and this raised a range of concerns about how to ensure the ethical application of AI and to guide its safe and appropriate use in our two specialties.
