Carnegie Mellon University, AI in Medicine Seminar Series

  • Ethics in AI and Medicine: 
    In a crowded hospital in the middle of a crisis, a little red or green light at the end of each hospital bed indicates which patients can survive waiting longer for treatments and which can’t, sparing life-saving minutes by staff who would otherwise have to read each patient chart. But, who or what will determine if the light is red or green? What info must go into determining this and where will it come from? What kinds of people must be involved in determining the criteria? 
    I start with this scenario in an upcoming Carnegie Mellon University #AI in #Healthcare Seminar Series to challenge student's thinking about approaches to problem-solving and the impact of their interventions from all angles. I'll discuss the scenario from the lens of patients, doctors, #bioethicists, #analysts, and #datascientists. Can't wait!

Data Transformers Podcast

Helping Businesses Responsibly Implement AI

Businesses need to evaluate AI strategy as a key element of corporate strategy and not as a separate strategy. Example, if diversity and inclusion is a core strategy, those values should be part of AI strategy too. Cortnie Abercrombie, CEO & Founder of AI Truth, worked with many businesses as part of IBM’s Digital Transformation team. Cortnie advocates that businesses need to start with a goal. Is this a goal we need to pursue AI for this goal? Could we pull the use case in a way that does more good? She also warns businesses that AI models are not just set and forgotten. They need to properly documented so they can be explained and maintained.
