Dear All,

I'm happy to share the details for the 3rd rTAIM Monthly Seminar
focused on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine in a
broad sense. This third seminar will be focused on AI in Medicine and
Healthcare Settings.

Date: 19 July 2023 | 14h30 - 16h (Lisbon Time Zone)
Speaker: Ami Palmer (University of Texas)

Title: From Theory to Practice: The Ethics of Deploying AI in
Healthcare Settings

Abstract: Current national and international guidance for the ethical
design and development of AI and robotics emphasizes ethical theory.
Various governing and advisory bodies have generated sets of broad
ethical principles which institutional decision-makers are encouraged
to apply to particular practical decisions. While much of this
literature examines the ethics of designing and developing AI and
robotics, medical institutions typically must make purchase and
deployment decisions about technologies that have already been
designed and developed. The primary problem facing medical
institutions is not one of ethical design but of ethical deployment.
The purpose of this paper is to develop a practical model by which
medical institutions may make ethical deployment decisions about
ready-made advanced technologies. Our slogan is “more process, less
principles.” Ethically sound decision making requires that the process
by which medical institutions make such decisions include
participatory, deliberative, and conservative elements. We argue that
our model preserves the strengths of existing frameworks, avoids their
shortcomings, and delivers its own moral, practical, and epistemic
advantages.

Short bio: Amitabha (Ami) Palmer received his PhD in Philosophy from
Bowling Green State University and is a clinical ethicist at the
University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. His primary areas of
research focus on the ethics of AI and robotics in clinical settings
and the effects of medical misinformation.
