Responsible AI in Healthcare: Navigating the EU AI Act and Global Regulatory Frameworks examines how health systems design, deploy, and oversee AI under evolving legal and ethical mandates. It provides an integrated, practice-oriented roadmap for compliance and responsible innovation. This book offers the first integrated, comparative treatment of the EU AI Act and global regulatory frameworks for healthcare, translating ethics and law into operational evaluation, governance, and value assessment. Through structured cases, decision tools, and stakeholder methods, it equips researchers and clinicians to design, validate, and deploy AI responsibly-and to keep learning as regulations evolve. Readers gain actionable tools, checklists, and frameworks to operationalize ethical AI, prepare for audits and certifications, and anticipate global convergence (“Brussels Effect”) shaping digital health. The volume serves clinicians, administrators, developers, policy and legal experts seeking rigorous yet accessible guidance.Maps global health-AI regulation (EU AI Act, GDPR, HIPAA, WHO) into clear organizational requirements and governance modelsDemonstrates compliance in practice through hospital and public-health case studies, checklists, and implementation guidanceOperationalizes ethics-to-action via explainability, bias mitigation, and privacy-preserving methods (e.g., federated learning, differential privacy)Demonstrates compliance in practice through hospital and public-health case studies, checklists, and implementation guidance

As a new model of growth and development comes into force, higher education institutions (HEI) worldwide have to adapt and respond to a constantly changing environment. Politics, economics, advances in technology and the resultant societal change create a number of opportunities and challenges that HEI’ administrators have to address on a daily basis. This volume offers practice-driven accounts of how HEI successfully embrace these challenges and opportunities. The experts and practitioners contributing to this volume reveal a complex reality of HEI today. The book links the debate on education to topical issues in politics, society and economy, including questions of technological progress, social responsibility, sustainability, well-being and, broadly understood, resilience. The authors emphasise the importance of the role of the university in supporting new models of growth by ensuring that the institutions strive towards inclusive education for all. Topics examined in this timely book include university social responsibility, emerging technologies in Higher Education and digital games-based learning and organizational innovation, in a range of international contexts. Given its practice-drive approach, this book will be invaluable for researchers, administrators and leaders in higher education management.
