Explainable AI for Health & Medicine

The King's Institute for Artificial Intelligence brings together the diverse and growing community in artificial intelligence (AI) at King's College London.

King’s Institute for Artificial Intelligence

Experts are working to ensure AI models in healthcare and medicine are fully explainable.

King’s Festival of Artificial Intelligence

The King's Festival of Artificial Intelligence is returning between Tuesday 21 & Saturday 25 May 2024, with a series of public events, including lectures, workshops and demonstrations, exploring artificial intelligence with researchers from across King's.

<p>Artificial intelligence (AI) has made significant progress over the past few decades, particularly in terms of accuracy and the range of problems it can address. As the parameters and functions used during the learning process are fine-tuned, AI models become increasingly effective, even within complex architectures. This success, however, raises important questions for healthcare, where the use of AI introduces both legal and ethical concerns.</p><p>Among these, one critical issue stands out: the explainability of AI models. Legally, there is the responsibility of clinicians regarding the model's decisions. Ethically, there is a need to understand the results to accurately assess the risks and benefits for patients. The lack of explainability of most of the successful models currently available remains the first obstacle preventing their widespread adoption in healthcare and medicine.</p><p>This talk explores this challenge and discusses current trends that might pave the way for a bright and secure future for AI in the realm of health and medicine.</p><p>You do not need any prior knowledge of AI to enjoy this event.</p>
