From radiology to embryology to pathology to day-to-day encounters with a patient, medical AI is rapidly becoming embedded in medical practice. How should the law regulate medical AI? What does ethical use of medical AI look like? What rights should clinicians demands when hospital systems implement medical AI? This lecture furthers that conversation, covering topics such as privacy, informed consent, bias, liability, and governance of medical AI. It also discusses direct-to-patient medical AI, such as chatbots, and how they represent overlapping but distinct challenges.

He is also the faculty director at the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology & Bioethics.
