Bioethics in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Navigating Opportunities, Challenges and Responsibilities
2024 Lecturer Effy Vayena, PhD
Artificial intelligence is rapidly re-shapeing the landscape of healthcare and biomedical research, prompting bioethics to evolve in response. In this talk, Effy Vayena, PhD will examine how AI introduces novel ethical challenges, urging bioethicists to broaden their scope of inquiry and adapt their methodological approaches. By exploring the shifts that AI brings in bioethics, she will chart the opportunities that lie ahead for the field of bioethics and in return the role it can play in guiding responsible innovation and, ultimately, more compassionate and equitable healthcare.
