HHS OIG Updates Work Plan to Include HHS AI Audit

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) announced an audit of HHS governance of artificial intelligence (AI). Given HHS’ reliance on AI tools to support public health surveillance, fraud detection, and administrative automation, OIG believes it is important that HHS fully establish and implement a comprehensive AI governance framework to manage risks. OIG will conduct the audit to determine whether HHS has established AI governance in accordance with Federal and HHS requirements.
