Trump Signs Order to Use AI in Fighting Childhood Cancer, Backed by $50M Data Program

Sep 30, 2025·View on White House

Key Points

Uses artificial intelligence to help doctors spot cancer earlier, match kids to better treatments, and design faster, smarter clinical trials.
Builds on a $50 million per year federal data program so hospitals and researchers can safely share records and images to speed discoveries.
Pushes health agencies and cancer centers to provide tools and data that work with artificial intelligence and to fund projects that use these tools.
Tells Health and Human Services to set clear data rules so parents control their child’s records while allowing privacy-safe sharing for research.
Prioritizes using current federal funds and private investment; it does not promise new money and results may take time.
