Healthcare demand is set to rise dramatically while trained staff is harder to find across the world. AI can be a great help here, allowing us to deliver high-quality care to ageing populations and underserved communities. As such, AI will fundamentally change how health care is provided, managed and organized. This transition towards the digitalisation of healthcare cries for a multidisciplinary and reflective approach to best understand this transition, its repercussions and how to shape it responsibly.
The conference 'Responsible AI in Health Care', which will take place fromĀ 10-12 September 2025Ā in Rotterdam (Netherlands), aims to map, steer and evaluate how the introduction of AI in healthcare unfolds. In a multidisciplinary setting, we discuss which aspects of the healthcare systems will be impacted most and how, and, more importantly, how this transition ought to be shaped in a responsible way.Ā
The World Health Organizationās call for āsafe and ethical medical AIā is important to heed, so that AI helps to āmake medicine human againā (Topol 2019).Ā To do so we must consider how medical AI systems might undermine the integrity of the patient-doctor relationship, threaten responsibility attribution or reproduce existing social biases, among other risks.
Hence, we invite contributions that illuminate the challenges of AI in healthcare and find solutions for them. We invite papers from different disciplines (including but not limited to computer science, philosophy, law, science and technology studies, medicine, nursing, social science and economics) on topics such as:
ā¢ Collection and sharing of healthcare data for AI
ā¢ The (value-sensitive) development of AI systems and their fit with work floor demands
ā¢ Implementation of AI systems and interactions between AI, clinicians, nursing staff and patients
ā¢ Evaluation and accountability of (socio-technical systems including) AI in healthcare
ā¢ Governance and regulation of AI in healthcare
You are welcome to submit:
ā¢ Individual paper abstracts (500 words), and/orĀ
ā¢ Proposals for (closed) panels (either 3 or 6 speakers) mentioning all the speakers that you intend to host during your panel (1500 words). All panelists will have to register for the conference.Ā
Submissions are due 28.02.2025 through the conference websiteĀ https://craihc.com/Ā
We are looking forward to receiving your submissions!
