"Beyond the Data: Ethics and Artificial Intelligence in Health Care"
From predictive analytics to generative artificial intelligence (AI) like patient-facing chatbots, AI is already affecting health care. How can ethical principles shape these technologies so that they support humanistic care for all? Drawing on philosophy, sociology, and findings from two ongoing studies of AI in the real-world, this presentation will explore how AI has the power to influence not just what we do in health care, but who we are, and what we should do about it.
Speaker
Matthew DeCamp, M.D., Ph.D. is an Associate Professor in the Center for Bioethics and Humanities and Division of General Internal Medicine. A practicing internist, health services researcher and philosopher, Dr. DeCamp employs empirical and conceptual methods to identify and solve cutting edge problems at the interface of health care, policy and bioethics. Special emphases of his research include engaging patients in health care organizational decision-making, ethical issues in artificial intelligence (AI), and global health (with a focus on short-term global health ethics). He serves as Director of Research Ethics for the Colorado Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CCTSI). Dr. DeCamp has two active projects on artificial intelligence in health care: one, as Principal Investigator of an NIH/NINR R01 on the use of AI-based prognostication in palliative care and another as Principal Investigator of a Greenwall Foundation Making a Difference grant examining ethics and patient-facing chatbots. Dr. DeCamp is an award-winning teacher and mentor, and has more than a decade of service on Institutional Review Boards.
