A multi-society paper presenting the views of Radiology Societies in the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, this editorial defines the potential practical problems and ethical issues surrounding the incorporation of AI into radiological practice. It also delineates the main points of concern that developers, regulators, and purchasers of AI tools should consider prior to their introduction into clinical practice, and suggests methods to monitor their stability and safety in clinical use, and their suitability for possible autonomous function.
