However, it also brings regulatory, ethical, implementation, social, and technical challenges that healthcare systems must overcome. It is necessary for the responsible parties in AI applications to be well defined by the regulations. To create standards that encourage innovation and address ethical and security concerns, collaboration between policymakers, AI developers and healthcare providers has a vital role. In this review, it was presented an overview of the current regulatory landscape for AI in healthcare, focusing primarily on frameworks in the European Union (EU), the United States (USA), and the United Kingdom (UK), which are leading countries in this regard.
