Following on from the success of our previous Bristows Life Sciences Summit on gene editing, we hosted a thought-provoking discussion on the moral, ethical, commercial and regulatory challenges posed by artificial intelligence in healthcare.

Chaired by eminent journalist and broadcaster Joan Bakewell, and conducted by a panel of leading experts, the debate covered some of the most pressing issues related to the use of AI in the medical field:

• What are the most promising applications of AI in medicine? And what does AI actually mean?
• How do we address ethical challenges that arise when AI is used in healthcare?
• How should AI be regulated?
• What can be done to build and maintain trust amongst all stakeholders in the healthcare industry when it comes to AI?

To help answer the last question, Bristows commissioned a survey of public opinion, whose results were shared at the event. You can download a PDF of the white paper here.
