Ethics Series: Putting the “Care” Back in Healthcare: AI, Medicine, and Ethics

Pittsburgh, PA US
December 3, 2024

Technological advancements in medicine have historically resulted in work creation and hyper specialization. As this has happened, the role of "care" in healthcare has sadly diminished. AI promises to be a radically different type of technology, a work-reducing or even work-eliminating type of technology. If this is so, what will this mean for the future of healthcare practice? Will we eventually no longer need humans in healthcare? In this presentation, we will discuss how the emergence of artificial intelligence, AI, in clinical medicine presents a momentous opportunity to transform healthcare by bringing “care” back to the center of healthcare and the role that clinical and organizational ethics might play in that transformation

Target Audience
