13. The Ethics of AI in Health: Creating Value that Benefits Everyone

(Machine Learning/AI — Course Level: Intermediate)

AI is no longer about the future. It’s about the present and what clinical and business leaders are doing today to leverage this next big shift in healthcare’s computing platform. As AI solutions become more pervasive, a host of ethical issues are coming forward. How we address them will determine whether AI will be a force for good for some—or all—health consumers.

In this session, Tom Lawry, author of the book, “Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare: A Leader’s Guide to Winning in the New Age of Intelligent Health Systems,” will define key ethical issues for use of AI in health, during a pandemic, and provide recommendations for creating a framework to guide its use in keeping with an organization’s mission and values.
