Conclusion Given that healthcare inherently involves human dimensions and places significant emphasis on ethi - cal considerations, it is imperative to differentiate the application of AI within this sector from its use in other fields. As AI technologies continue to advance, the healthcare sector faces increasingly complex legal and ethical challenges. Among these, the lack of transparency in AI decision-making processes raises concerns regarding accountability and the attribution of responsibility. Consequently, existing legal frame - works may be inadequate to address the issues aris- ing from AI integration in healthcare. In light of the above, the development of regulatory frameworks governing AI deployment in healthcare must proceed with diligence and specificity, ensuring that considera - tions of patient safety, personal privacy, and ethical standards remain paramount.
the Constitutional Court, the PDPC is expected to be officially established by the end of 2025. In May 2025, draft legislation, titled the National Health Insurance Data Management Act, was published by the Executive Yuan, introducing comprehensive meas - ures to enhance the governance of health insurance data. The draft Act would mandate the establishment of an advisory council tasked with providing expert counsel and overseeing the implementation of related policies. It further defines a framework for the con - struction, management, and evaluation of pertinent data repositories, as well as standardised procedures for transmission of data by insurers to competent authorities. Moreover, the draft Act would also entitle data subjects to opt out of data usage. Since 9 June 2025, the Legislative Yuan (congress) has convened to review the draft legislation of the National Health Insurance Data Management Act. It is expected that the legislation will be completed by the deadline set by the Constitutional Court (ie, 12 August 2025).
