š£š„³ Excited to share our paper in @JAMANetworkOpen describing the values of #youth regarding ethical issues in #HealthAI !
#AIEthics #bioethics #youthengagement
We noted strong preferences and values expressed by @SickKidsNews patients to guide ethical integration of AI š§µ/9
Engaging children and youths is important to build trust and develop social license as they express a strong desire to be included in decision-making regarding #AI integration in health care. ja.ma/41Y1L4z @Mmccradden
Replying to @CohenProf
@CohenProf gave a great talk on #medicolegal aspects of #HealthAI highlighting areas where law provides clarity and others where it is limited in offering guidance for #EthicalAI
It was a pleasure to be in discussion on these big topics!
Replying to @DECYale
@CohenProf opens Day 3 with a keynote about the legal, ethical, and regulatory dimensions of medical AI, and analyses physician-AI partnerships; @MMccradden responds.
Also highlighted issues of testimonial injustice as @DanielZBuchman Katrina Hui and I discussed

Finally, we got a great question from Italian attendees - practically speaking, what can we do?
My answer is local, sociotechnical evaluation, partnering with consumers š Project CANAIRI with @DrXiaoLiu will aim to address this!

Dear @LinkedIn, may I remind you of your own Responsible AI Principles? Remember, the ones about Trust, Privacy, Transparency, Accountability? Asking for consent is literally Responsible AI 101. Seems like these principles are ā as for so many companies ā just marketing BS.
Can you make a āgoodā (ie, ethical & medicolegally accountable) decision using AI without explanations?
@IStedman and I explore this Q & the reasonableness standard and we say YES
Explaining decisions without explainability? Artificial intelligence a... sciencedirect.com/science/arā¦
We consider 2 case examples - one of a discharge recommendation predictor and another using ChatGPT
We show how a holistic analysis centred on the patientās interests does not require #ExplainableAI
@IStedman and I hope this piece helps to advance the dialogue of ethical medical use of AI systems! #Bioethics #AIEthics #MedTwitter

1/ Hi @Oprah . This event will be the first time many people will get info on Generative Ai. However it is shaping up to be a misinformed marketing event staring vested interests (some who are under a litany of lawsuits) who ignore the harms GenAi inflicts on communities NOW š§µ

I spoke to Mariana about the evidence bar and challenges of testing AI in health
In my latest story for @Nature, I explore the challenges of properly testing medical AI tools. Hundreds of algorithms have been approved in recent years, but few have undergone clinical trials. I heard from experts leading some of these studies: nature.com/articles/d41586-0ā¦

1/4 Dear Tech Giants, our names are more than just words - they are a fundamental part of our identity. š§µ
Introducing Project CANAIRI! With my Co-Lead @DrXiaoLiu we are looking to develop guidance around silent trials for #HealthAI, expanding practices into a translational trial paradigm to address AI as a sociotechnical tool #AIEthics
