The Trump administration is proposing to repeal a federal rule that requires developers of health AI tools to disclose information about how models were developed and tested[1]. The proposed change would remove the requirement to submit so-called "model cards" - brief "nutrition labels" describing the development, testing, and potential risks of AI models in healthcare[1]. This measure is part of the Administration's broader move to deregulate AI used in healthcare and other industries[1]. The rule with "model cards" was originally introduced by the administration of President Joe Biden and required healthcare software vendors to provide the following information[1]. They published the proposal in a new rule that applies to the agency responsible for patient record-keeping software and related technologies[1].
