Artificial intelligence (AI) at NICE
We understand the importance of responsible and effective use of artificial intelligence (AI).
We're identifying the potential benefits that AI can bring to the health and care system, and how it can be used in the development of our guidance and advice.
Our approach
Artificial intelligence (AI) presents a significant opportunity to better deliver on our core mission and transform how we conduct our business. It can help improve health outcomes and system productivity, and drive innovation within the life sciences and health technology sectors.
To date, NICE has been a world-leading HTA body in considering how AI can be applied to healthcare. We've led the way with the publication of both our AI Statement of Intent and position statement on the use of AI in evidence generation. We're also adopting AI across our processes, and have already published 17 evaluations of AI-based medical devices since 2023.
Our plan for 2026/27 builds on ongoing work, as well as commitments in the 10 Year Health Plan and the AI Opportunities Action Plan. More broadly, our ongoing transformation will consider how AI and modern data and digital tools can best position us for the future.
