Responsible AI in Healthcare: From Ethical Intent to Clinical-Grade Decision Governance

npj Digital Medicine · Nature Portfolio

Submission ID: 0efabad3-a3a5-40e0-840f-7e541b1c6e59

Argues that responsible AI in healthcare must be reconceived as clinical-grade decision governance architecture — an operational system in which AI outputs are embedded within structured human-led clinical workflows, with explicit accountability assignment, explainability requirements, and immutable audit trails. Proposes a five-pillar governance model and introduces the governance-by-design principle, with specific reference to the Saudi Arabian regulatory context including PDPL, SDAIA ethics principles, and Vision 2030 digital health transformation goals.

Governance by Design: Why AI Accountability Must Be Architected, Not Audited

AI & Society · Springer

Submission ID: ef5c457b-94be-4428-b3b5-ca924e100015

Argues that AI accountability cannot be achieved through post-hoc auditing alone. Governance must be embedded as an intrinsic architectural property of AI systems — built into workflows, decision loops, and accountability mechanisms before deployment, not layered on afterward. Introduces the governance-by-design principle as a foundational requirement for trustworthy AI in high-stakes environments.

A Decision-Centric Human-in-the-Loop Governance Architecture for Operationalizing IEEE 7000-2021

IEEE · Independent Research

Proposes a decision-centric Human-in-the-Loop governance architecture that complements IEEE 7000-2021 by binding ethical accountability to explicit human decision authority at defined control points. Introduces the concepts of decision displacement and authority leakage — where responsibility remains formally human while practical control migrates to automated pipelines.

Digital Biomarkers and Artificial Intelligence: Toward Personalized Metabolic Therapeutics

IISc · AI in Digital Health & Medical Imaging — Cohort 7

Proposes an AI framework integrating multimodal digital biomarkers — including continuous glucose monitors, smartwatch metrics, body composition, food intake logs, and sleep quality — to model and optimise individual metabolic states. Applies deep learning, reinforcement learning, and explainable AI (XAI) to predict glycemic responses and generate adaptive recommendations for potential diabetes reversal.
