Event description:

This interactive session will explore ethical issues around AI technologies in healthcare settings, focussing particularly on generative AI tools like large language models. We will discuss what evidence is relevant for those who will be using the tools and what you need to know to make ethical decisions about when and how to use AI (or not!). We will cover ethical issues such as responsibility, accountability, human-computer interaction, fairness and bias, and transparency.
