Title Colloquium: AI in medicine: ethical and legal issues, pr
Description Modern medicine is increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence (AI). The current hype notwithstanding, many people worry about using AI in an area as sensitive as medicine. For instance, how will trust between medical doctors and patients be affected by AI? May medicine become dehumanized? How can algorithmic bias and discrimination be avoided? What about privacy if AI needs more and more patient data? And who can be charged if things go wrong?
Questions of this kind raise deeper ethical issues, which are currently investigated in the emerging ethics of AI. They are also relevant for future legislation regarding AI.
This course aims to make students sensitive to ethical and legal issues surrounding AI in medicine and to empower them to contribute to ethical and pragmatic solutions.
