Summary
This project focuses on machine learning--a form of Artificial Intelligence (AI)--which can now diagnose and screen for conditions including breast cancer and cardiovascular disease. Our multi-disciplinary team will systematically examine how AI is changing healthcare, and the values of data scientists, health professionals and the public. Drawing on ethics, social sciences and the law, we will develop a new approach to guide future use of machine learning for diagnosis and screening.
