Governing AI in Health
Artificial Intelligence systems are reshaping the landscape of modern medicine and scientific research.
With such transformation comes a critical provocation: How do we ensure AI governance remains ethical and trustworthy, rather than merely compliant?
This kickoff event of the "Reprogramming Governance" series brings together a multidisciplinary panel of experts in AI ethics, healthcare, and law to explore the frameworks and oversight mechanisms necessary to ensure that AI serves the interests of patients and society at large.
This event is part of the Frontiers in Data Science and AI initiative at the Data Science Institute, Columbia University— Reprogramming Governance: Ethical AI in Science and Health Series
