UK needs new laws for AI in healthcare, says watchdog — comic strip

The script

Panel 1

Alex, a bearded inventor, is enthusiastically coding on his laptop. He types with exaggerated energy, showing off a screen with advanced AI healthcare solutions. Robin, a chaotic figure, smirks and throws a wrench into Alex's computer, causing it to crash.

Sam: If only the government would listen...

Panel 2

Alex is now looking at the crashed screen, confused, as Sam and Robin are seen in a room full of computers and tablets, their screens all showing different health care AI solutions running smoothly.

Sam: You see, Alex, the tech is ready. We just need to figure out who's ready to let it happen.

Panel 3

Sam and Robin, now in a mock legal conference room, are hunched over a table with papers and laptops.

Alex: But it's not just about the tech, right? We need to consider the patients and the doctors.

Robin: Oh, the patients are fine, they just need to be assured their data is safe. And doctors... they might just need to be assured their job isn't threatened.

Sam: Ah, the perfect balance of chaos and stability. Maybe we should start with the basics, like making sure everyone knows where to go next?
