Last month, we had two great series. First, we took a deep dive into Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIM), exploring AI’s impact on clinical practices, data organization, and patient autonomy. Our speaker addressed questions of security and ownership, providing a closer look at the importance of transparency and how AIM can empower patients. Ethics proved a crucial component of AIM, with our guest detailing the impact of systemic bias and ways to handle sensitive medical data.
The importance of ethics also rang true for guests in our second series. Looking at scholarly publishing, the guests examined the peer review process, flexible access strategies, and how publishing in the Humanities and Social Sciences can further social justice initiatives. The series also considered how publishers can implement intentional DEI policies and increase community engagement.
Here’s a quick round-up of the episodes, in case you missed them. We hope you find the conversations informative, immersive, and inspiring. Thanks for listening!
In this first series, Dr. Niklas Lidströmer, specialist physician, researcher, and co-editor of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, analyzes the impact of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIM). Niklas discusses the ethics of AIM, covering issues of bias and privacy. Niklas also explores how AIM shapes doctor-patient relationships and details upcoming innovations and trends.
