As artificial intelligence (AI) technology rapidly advances in healthcare, critical ethical challenges emerge. Is it safe for AI to prescribe medications? Can clinicians ethically rely on AI to make diagnoses? How can we build trust in AI systems? What role does patient subjectivity play in this evolving landscape? Are we facing a risk of dehumanization in AI-based medicine? And how can clinicians and patients remain empowered in these transformative times?
Join us for an engaging, in-person, free event dedicated to the ethics of AI in healthcare. This day will feature insightful keynote speeches and dynamic panel discussions that will address the ethical dilemmas of implementing AI into routine clinical care. Our speakers will share effective strategies for stakeholders to translate ethical principles into concrete practices, ensuring human integrity in medicine. Topics will range from accountability and legal accountability to the risks of dehumanization and loss of power.
This event will bring together thought leaders from academia, government, medicine, industry and the patient community. Together, we will explore our collective responsibility in proactively addressing ethical risks and safeguarding human dignity in an AI-driven medical future.
Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with experts, share ideas, and contribute to a vital conversation about the future of ethics in healthcare.
This event is hosted by Dr Raquel Iniesta, Reader in Statistical Learning for Precision Medicine at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King’s College London.
