- Abstract
- Artificial intelligence (AI) within healthcare creates opportunities to save more human lives regarding the prevention and prediction of diseases. This thesis has its main focus on the proposed AI Act and in what way the proposed AI Act promotes innovation and ensures privacy concerning the collection of patient data for the prevention and prediction of diseases. Furthermore, is there a balance between the promotion of innovation and ensuring privacy in the proposed AI Act with regard to the collection of patient data for the prevention and prediction of diseases?

This thesis has its main focus on the proposed AI Act and in what way the proposed AI Act promotes innovation and ensures privacy concerning the collection of patient data for the prevention and prediction of diseases. Furthermore, is there a balance between the promotion of innovation and ensuring privacy in the proposed AI Act with regard to the collection of patient data for the prevention and prediction of diseases?
This thesis concludes that the proposed AI Act does promote innovation through research exceptions, regulatory sandboxes, and removing barriers for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The proposed AI Act also ensures privacy through its risk-based approach. Regarding the balance between promoting innovation and ensuring privacy, there are different opinions. One argument is that the proposed AI Act does hinder the innovation of AI because the focus of the risk-based approach is too highly valued. Another argument is that the proposed AI Act does not ensure privacy because its focus is on companies and not the end user. However, it seems that the proposed AI Act values data privacy over innovation. Whether a balance between promoting innovation and ensuring data privacy is possible to achieve is difficult to say. It remains to be seen when the proposed AI Act is a finished regulation. (Less)
