Unlocking Cures for Pediatric Cancer with Artificial Intelligence

The order directs federal agencies to utilize artificial intelligence (AI) to improve diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies for pediatric cancer. The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission, in coordination with the Secretary of Health and Human Services and other officials, will focus on accelerating AI-driven solutions at the Childhood Cancer Data Initiative (CCDI), which receives $50 million in funding annually for 10 years. The order also instructs these agencies to increase investment in pediatric cancer research, encourage private sector use of advanced technologies, and ensure AI innovation is integrated into current work on interoperability for electronic health record and claims data.
