Cybersecurity and artificial intelligence

AzHHA supports policies that protect patients, safeguard hospital operations and enable responsible innovation. Cybersecurity and artificial intelligence (AI) are now core to patient safety, financial stability and equitable access. We support voluntary adoption of recognized cybersecurity frameworks, coordinated threat sharing and state or federal investments that help hospitals, primarily rural and essential facilities, build resilience.

For AI, we support responsible, clinician-led tools that improve outcomes, efficiency and access without duplicative or punitive regulation. We oppose policies that penalize victims of criminal cyberattacks, impose overlapping regulatory regimes or restrict safe AI use that can improve care.
