Thinking Critically about AI in Healthcare L5

Описание: Presented by Dr. Jessica Morley, on behalf of the Yale Digital Ethics Center

This week's lecture focuses on the bigger picture, arguing that when we focus on individual ethical or regulatory issues of specific products, we miss the bigger picture of how the implementation of AI into healthcare is resulting in the emergence of a new model of care: from evidence-based to algorithm-based; from one-to-one to many-to-many; from patient-centric to data-centric; and from narrow trust to distributed trust. When we look at this higher level of abstraction, the societal impacts of the implementation of AI become clearer as do the limitations of focusing only on models designed to optimise individual health. Fortunately the diagnoses of the issues with this 'optimise' approach can also be used as the cure. The cure, being develop AI that also targets population health at a structural level.
