AI in healthcare

Datum: 25 maj 2023
Tid: 09:00-21:00

Venue: The Institute for Futures Studies, Stockholm

This workshop is open to invitees only. For more information please contact the organizers.

The imperative to adopt Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been voiced by policymakers and entrepreneurs worldwide, and public and private investments have followed suit. The EU strategy is to move swiftly and become a hub for human-centric and trustworthy AI. The Swedish approach to AI aims for a leading position in adoption. In particular, this technology is anticipated to strengthen the welfare state. It has been estimated that AI's deployment in the public sector will generate economic value corresponding to six percent of public expenses.

Healthcare is no exception. Here, AI is believed to enhance productivity and enable more precise, consistent, and cost-effective diagnostics and treatment, while also reducing the workload for hardworking clinicians and alleviating challenges related to an ageing populace.

However, despite its speedy implementation in the consumer domain, AI’s adoption in clinical settings has yet been sluggish. Why is that? Do the challenges regard processes, people, regulations, infrastructure, or the technology itself? How can hurdles to adoption be overcome?

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers, practitioners, and public officials to share their perspectives on these topics. This way, it addresses the ‘the last mile’ of AI in healthcare.
