The Launch of EEE AI Governance Protocol: Safeguarding Professionals in Regulated Industries

Introduction

The MedLegal Professor, spearheaded by Nikki Mehrpoo, has made impactful strides in AI governance with the announcement of the EEE AI Governance Protocol™. This innovative framework aims to safeguard licensed professionals and regulated industries as artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into their workflows.

The Necessity of AI Governance

AI’s capabilities are no longer theoretical; it actively decides on critical matters such as legal opinions, medical claims, and even employee evaluations. With high-stakes decisions now influenced by AI, the absence of binding standards raises serious ethical, legal, and malpractice concerns. As Nikki Mehrpoo pointedly remarks, "AI without governance is malpractice on autopilot."

Addressing Liability Concerns

This initiative comes at a crucial time when licensed professionals face the daunting challenge of accountability. Even if AI participates in the decision-making process, human professionals still bear the ultimate responsibility. The reality is that many are using AI tools without established governance systems, which opens the door to malpractice risks and legal repercussions. Mehrpoo warns, "If you can't defend an AI decision in court, you should never let it leave your workflow."

The EEE AI Governance Protocol™ Explained

The EEE AI Governance Protocol™ is structured around the concept of Educate, Empower, and Elevate. It establishes a rigorous compliance framework that operates on two levels:
1. Organizational Level: This facet of the protocol sets standards and strategies necessary for AI readiness and deployment across organizations.
2. Workflow Level: This applies to individual decisions made with AI support. It requires comprehensive documentation and compliance verification, ensuring every AI-influenced outcome is ready for audits and regulatory reviews.

This proactive approach to governance seeks to align AI practices with evidentiary standards and prevent any governance blind spots.

The AI+HI™ Initiative

Supporting this protocol is the AI+HI™ Initiative, which advocates for a fundamental principle: Human Intelligence Leads, Artificial Intelligence Powers. By promoting this tenet, the initiative maintains public trust and ethical standards, ensuring that human oversight remains pivotal in the deployment of AI systems.

Adoption in Professional Environments

The EEE AI Governance Protocol™ is already finding its way into various professional settings. Healthcare organizations, for instance, view AI governance as crucial for compliance. According to Dr. Raji Akileh, CEO of MedEd Cloud, integrating these protocols is essential for a regulatory-ready AI environment.

Moreover, Jonathan Norzagaray, CEO of Effingo Tech LLC, emphasizes that every AI workflow within his company is designed to handle regulatory scrutiny effectively, thanks to the governance frameworks established by Mehrpoo.

Conclusion

With the launch of the EEE AI Governance Protocol™, The MedLegal Professor champions a much-needed shift toward responsible AI integration in licensed professions. By ensuring that human intelligence governs AI processes, the initiative lays the groundwork for ethically sound and legally defensible applications of AI technology, ultimately benefiting both professionals and the public they serve.
