WHO Europe published a report emphasizing governance readiness for responsible artificial-intelligence use in health systems. Its online dialogue brought together experts from 105 countries.

Report participants identified fragmented or biased data, unclear accountability and gaps in AI literacy as persistent obstacles. They prioritized governance, data, validation, workforce capacity and patient/community participation.

The five-week structured discussion ran between October and December 2025. WHO said the participants’ views were detailed but not a statistically representative sample.
