Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being used more and more in many spheres of life, and research on its application in healthcare has also increased. Jointly organised with RC52, this session examines issues and challenges of those working on as well as those working with AI. This includes (but not limited to): challenges faced by workers who operate behind the scenes labelling or moderating data; the impact of AI on the work of healthcare professionals, including how they engage with AI and whether they trust it; the extent to which AI can replace healthcare professionals in providing healthcare services; and the ways in which AI can improve the efficiency of the delivery of healthcare services (such as, but not limited to, patient data management and precision medicine).
