CNBC will be on the ground at the ASCO annual meeting in Chicago. Meanwhile, Epic released a free tool set to help health systems evaluate AI models.

So will thousands of cancer researchers and clinicians, who expect to see encouraging new science and data that could advance cancer treatments, health equity and patient care.

The company last week released a free new tool set called the AI Trust and Assurance Suite, which health systems can use to evaluate the performance of an AI model that integrates with an electronic health record, or EHR. For instance, a health system could use the suite to test several different models and determine which one works best for that community's local patient population. The tool set can also carry out a"fairness audit," which can look for bias across race, sex and age within a group of patients, Miller said.

The release of Epic's suite comes as the health-care sector has been reckoning with how to establish guard rails and best practices around AI. Several organizations like the Coalition for Health AI, Microsoft's Trustworthy & Responsible AI Network and the Health AI Partnership have been created with these objectives in mind, but there are no hard and fast rules about how to use the technology.
