A toolbox for integrating the analysis of ethical and social issues into healthcare AI development

Seminar Room 1.10, TCD School of Nursing and Midwifery

<h3>Embedded Ethics and Social Sciences: a toolbox for integrating the analysis of ethical and social issues into healthcare AI development</h3>Ethical concerns around artificial intelligence (AI) technology have prompted a rush towards ‘AI ethics’ to consider how AI technology can be developed and implemented in an ethical manner. A key limitation of traditional ethical evaluations of technologies, however, is their retrospective nature. Our group at the Technical University of Munich has proposed the Embedded Ethics and Social Sciences approach to integrate the consideration of ethical and social issues into the entire development process in a deeply integrated, collaborative and interdisciplinary way. This talk will outline the fundamental features of the approach, and based on the practical experience of using it in a range of interdisciplinary AI-related healthcare consortia, will presents several methods that have proven helpful for embedding ethical and social science analysis and inquiry. Dr Stuart McLennan is Director of Research at the Institute for the History and Ethics of Medicine at the Technical University of Munich. His research focuses on ethical and regulatory issues related to learning health systems, particularly data science and AI in health care, patient safety and quality improvement, and clinical research. He is deeply involved in the development of embedded ethics as an approach for integrating ethics into the development of medical AI.
