Oct 22 (Reuters) – Poland on Thursday committed to join a HealthAI-led global ​network for governing ‌the use of artificial intelligence in healthcare, as Europe rolls out new AI rules ‌amid ​growing concerns over ⁠unpredictable AI behaviour.

• ⁠Poland would become the second European Union member state after Portugal to ​join the Global Regulatory Network (GRN), whose members ⁠also include Britain, ⁠India, Brazil, Singapore, ​the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Zambia ​and Peru.

• GRN members have ‌access to AI healthcare tools reviewed by regulators, as well as ⁠a real-time warning system for sharing reports of harmful incidents.

• “There is ⁠no ‌fixed timeline for ⁠Poland’s potential accession,” ​a ‌HealthAI spokesperson said, adding ​that the ⁠agreement establishes a one-year cooperation framework.
