TRAIN consortium ensures responsible AI for major US healthcare systems

Use case typeFederated learningUpdated Jun 13, 2026

A consortium of leading US healthcare providers, joined by Microsoft as the technology enabler, has established the Trustworthy & Responsible AI Network (TRAIN) to operationalize responsible and ethical use of artificial intelligence in healthcare delivery. Members include Cleveland Clinic, Duke Health, Johns Hopkins Medicine, Mass General Brigham, Mount Sinai Health System, Northwestern Medicine, and others. The network aims to enhance the quality, safety, and trustworthiness of AI by sharing best practices, registering clinical AI for operational use, providing tools to measure AI outcomes, and creating a federated outcomes registry. The collaboration targets improvement of clinical care quality, reduction of risks from AI deployment, and provision of practical tools to healthcare organizations nationwide for managing AI implementations and mitigating bias. Through this concerted effort, TRAIN promotes safe, reliable, and equitable use of AI, thus improving patient outcomes and establishing trust in the adoption of advanced technology in health settings.
