The AI will see you now

AI_will_see_you_now

How close are we to swapping our GPs for AI's? Join our panel discussion that looks at the ethics of AI-driven healthcare.

As machine learning is increasingly adopted into our systems of society, when will we see its launch into the medical field? Will it lead to a quicker, more efficient and less error-prone NHS? Are we as patients more comfortable with human error than machine error, even if the machine gets things right more often? Can a machine be taught bedside manner?

Join the discussion and discover the answers to these questions and more. 

Panelists include: 

Professor Tom Vercauteren, a pioneering researcher at King's College London whose work is using AI to recognise signs of disease.

Dr Ali Jomaa, an active NHS A&E doctor and futurist working to improve his patients' care with breakthrough digital technologies. 

Dr Christine Aicardi, a big-picture social scientist at the EU's Human Brain Project investigating the potential dangers of using AI in healthcare. 

Juan Echenique, co-founder of Horatio Productions, a company which seeks a new storytelling language around science in theatre and film.
