Trusting Health Care in the Age of AI

May 5 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

From automated medical notes and AI-assisted diagnosis and treatment planning to patient self-help and deep fake doctors, artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping and challenging how health care is delivered in Canada and around the world. But as more clinical decisions and interactions are supported by algorithms, what does it mean to trust our health-care systems and the technologies innovating them?

Join the University of Waterloo and the Balsillie School of International Affairs for a timely conversation on health and AI, moderated by Dr. Shereen El Feki, a BSIA Fellow focused on global health and human rights. Together with a computer scientist exploring AI and cancer research, a local family physician and medical advisor to multiple startups, a bioethicist working on responsible and ethical AI, and a clinician-researcher focused on global health, we will explore how AI is changing everyday care, professional practice and public confidence in medicine. This event invites the public to reflect on how we can build trustworthy, human-centred health care in an increasingly automated future.
