Challenge 17: Attend the free Parker Arts Lecture, “How AI is Changing Medicine and Ourselves”

Speaker Matthew DeCamp, MD, PhD, Associate Professor, Center for Bioethics and Humanities and Division of General Internal Medicine, will present the first lecture of the 2024/2025 lecture series at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 4 at The Schoolhouse, 19650 E. Mainstreet.

About the lecture: Artificial intelligence (AI) is already being used throughout medicine, from disease prediction to patient-facing chatbots. But are these AI applications merely tools we use, or do they change how we think and who we are? When we come to see how AI influences our choices, reflects our biases in words and images, and affects how we view each other, we come to realize that AI is more than a simple tool. And once we do, we can imagine new possibilities for ensuring this new technology can promote humanism in medicine and beyond.
