Join Sidley and OneTrust DataGuidance for a webinar on the EU AI Act. This discussion with industry panellists will cover initial reactions to the (anticipated) political agreement on the EU AI Act following key negotiations by the European legislative bodies on December 6, 2023.

The EU AI Act will be the first standalone piece of legislation worldwide regulating the use of AI and will form a key consideration in AI governance programs. The AI Act will have a significant impact on many organizations, with failure to comply potentially leading to fines of up to 7% of annual worldwide turnover.

CMS Proposes Artificial Intelligence Limits and Utilization Management Guardrails for Medicare Advantage

On December 10, 2024, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) published a proposed rule with technical changes for the Medicare Advantage (MA) Program and the Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit Program for Calendar Year 2026 (Proposed Rule). Citing the growing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within the healthcare sector and reports that the use of AI may lead to “algorithmic discrimination” that exacerbates inequalities within healthcare, CMS proposes, for the first time, new guardrails that must be adopted by MA plans when using AI to manage patient care. CMS also proposes several reforms addressing utilization management (UM) techniques adopted by MA plans, including requirements for such plans to conduct and report detailed analyses on the use of prior authorizations. Notably, the Proposed Rule primarily modifies MA regulations, without direct application to the Medicare Part D prescription drug program.

EU AI Act: Are You Prepared for the “AI Literacy” Principle?

The EU AI Act is the world’s first horizontal and standalone law governing the commercialization and use of AI, and a landmark piece of legislation for the EU. Among the various provisions of the EU AI Act, the “AI literacy” principle is an often overlooked but key obligation which requires organizations to ensure that staff who are involved in the operation and use of AI have the necessary skills, knowledge and understanding to adequately assess AI-related risks and opportunities (e.g., through training and hiring staff with the appropriate background and skillset). This obligation – which applies from February 2, 2025 – is one of the few obligations under the EU AI Act that applies to all AI systems i.e., irrespective of the level of risk that the AI system presents. Indeed, by introducing AI literacy as one of the first provisions of the AI Act (Article 4), the EU legislators appear to underscore the significance of this requirement.
