Interaction between artificial intelligence and medicine

June 9, 2020

Anita Ho’s research studies the intersection of healthcare and ethics, and has studied how implementing systems of artificial intelligence in clinical environments could be both beneficial and harmful. She is currently completing a monograph on AI health monitoring ethics, to be published by Oxford University Press. As bionic systems are created and mesh with the existing healthcare standard of care, careful consideration will have to be made of the way these kinds of interfaces and devices will change people’s interactions.

As artificial intelligence becomes more predominant and starts to become a tool used by healthcare professionals for diagnosing patterns in healthcare data not immediately visible to humans, it is vital we consider what blindspots it has in the possibility to either close gaps in the system or amplify those gaps.
