Artificial intelligence and digitalised diagnosis: what are the issues?

Nina Hallowell is Professor of social and ethical aspects of genomics at the University of Oxford.

Abstract: In my talk I will reflect on the issues arising from the use of AI in the diagnosis of rare genetic diseases. I will describe the use of facial recognition technology in the subspeciality of dysmorphology. By focusing upon claims that AI technology may help to eradicate diagnostic uncertainty I will look at related ethical implications of the adoption of AI-generated diagnosis such as implications for notions of trustworthiness, algorithmic bias, transparency and the nature of objectivity in digitalised diagnosis.
