Panel Discussion 2

AI in Health

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming every layer of healthcare, from the clinic to the cloud. Yet many clinicians, patients, and policymakers are still unsure where the real value lies—and where the risks begin. This panel explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping healthcare, from early diagnosis and personalized treatment to hospital management and public health. Bringing together clinicians, AI researchers, ethicists and innovators, the discussion will examine real-world applications, opportunities and limitations of current technologies. The panel will address key questions around data quality, model transparency, regulation, and how to build trust among doctors, patients and decision-makers. Speakers will also highlight successful case studies, as well as risks such as bias, privacy concerns and over-reliance on automated systems.
