Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already a reality in health systems, bringing benefits to patients, healthcare providers, and other stakeholders in the health care. To further leverage AI in health, Belgium is advised to make policy-level decisions about how to fund, design and undertake actions focussing on data access and inclusion, IT-infrastructure, legal and ethical frameworks, public and professional trust, in addition to education and interpretation. EU initiatives, such as European Health data space (EHDS), the Genomics Data Infrastructure (GDI) and the EU Cancer Imaging Infrastructure (EUCAIM) are building EU data infrastructures. To continue these positive developments, Belgium should continue to invest and support existing European data infrastructures. At the national level, a clear vision and strategy need to be developed and infrastructures need to be harmonized at the European level.
