This lecture dives into the question who is the most credible source of personal medical information through the concept of epistemic injustice.
Who is the most credible source of personal medical information—the patient sharing their personal experience or the medical AI system fed with digital metrics and parameters? And whose advice should a patient follow—that of the physician who knows them personally or that of an automated AI system trained on more data than their doctor? Could AI systems in medical decision-making undermine the credibility of both patients and physicians? Etc,...
In this lecture, Giorgia Pozzi addresses these questions through the concept of epistemic injustice. This concept has inaugurated a new research area in AI ethics and medicine that seeks to identify epistemically unjust ways of conceiving illness, treating individuals, and allocating healthcare.
After Pozzi's introductory lecture, an interdisciplinary panel of scholars, will exchange ideas about AI in the healthcare landscape and the relevance of epistemic injustice.
