Bryan Sisk - AI and Prejudice: The Ethics of AI in Medicine

June 22, 2024 Tama Thé Season 1 Episode 2

Bryan Sisk is a pediatric Hematologist/Oncologist and studies the intersection of communication, ethics, and the new technologies that are making their way into medicine.  He is the author of “An Overarching Framework for the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence in Pediatrics,”  which was published in JAMA Pediatrics in January 2024.  

This episode is the first in an ongoing series about Artificial intelligence in medicine, and we begin by laying the foundation of the ethics behind AI in medicine.

In this episode, we delve into the ethical implications of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in medicine, with a special focus on the intrinsic biases of AI algorithms. We explore how AI, if not purposefully inclusive, could leave vulnerable populations - like our children - at a disadvantage.

Join us as we navigate these challenging questions, shedding light on the need for ethical guidelines and robust policies in the implementation of AI in medicine.
