Two fantastic events in #Zurich and #Davos. I presented on #AI regulations at ETH Zรผrich at the excellent #HealthDARES course organised by Sara Kijewski, @EffyVayena, Elettra Ronchi, and Joanna Sleigh (. Thereafter, I participated in the ETH-TUM gathering with a very dynamic group led by @MarcelloIenca I'm most impressed by breadth and depth of knowledge that is emerging on AI from technical, ethical, philosophical, and legal perspectives - particularly from younger scholars. The legal and ethical landscape on AI and healthcare in academia is unrecognisable to 5 years ago. It's a lively a bustling area that I only expect will grow more in the years to come. It was a great privilege to share the stage with Prof. Timo Minssen (@TiMinCeBIL) and Eva von Mรผhlenen, LL.M., to catch up with friends, and to see the amazing talent in the field. @a_blasimme, Alberto Termine, Ambra D'Imperio, Claire McBride, Eirini Petrou, Elena Schiller, Eric Owens, Guido Cassinadri, Katherine Bassil, Kelly Ormond, Kirsten R., Laura Schopp, Lea Haag, Mattia Andreoletti, Georg Starke, @alsobieska @ETH_AI_Center @ETH_en @TU_Muenchen @EthicsPolicyLab

Grateful to see this article amongst the most downloaded in the last 90 days in the International Journal of Law and Psychiatry: Available HERE โžก๏ธ โšกIn it, I warn that healthcare professionals are experimenting with #ChatGPT, which is unethical and legally questionable. Generative AI (#GenAI) can have benefits in healthcare but: โš  It has made dangerous and disturbing mistakes that could lead to suicide โš  Is being used without any oversight in some cases โš  Some hospital groups have banned it because of the risks involved โŒ I also note how the EU's AI-Act will do almost nothing to migrate risks. Yes, GenAI may have some benefits but its use should be driven by: โœ… Considering what patients in mental health actually need โœ… Robust R&D that creates AI in a safe and controlled environment โœ… Proper guidelines that set out the ethical and legal considerations that apply specifically to mental health Thank you Qatar National Library (@QNLib) for the open access funding. @hbku_cl @WCMQatar @ElsevierConnect

Legal academia shouldn't exist in a vacuum. We have to engage with our community to understand its problems and needs, address those challenges, and be useful to the real world. Speaking to interdisciplinary audiences: ๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ Broadens your horizons ๐Ÿงฎ Gives you new ways of thinking and problem solving ๐Ÿ“ Means you can be ahead of the curve by discovering new technologies, trends, and problems before the law encounters them in the courtroom I have keynoted several science-focussed events this year and have learnt about issues in #AI I wasn't aware of from: ๐Ÿ‘ทโ€โ™€๏ธ Developers ๐Ÿฅ Hospitals ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ”ฌ Scientists ๐Ÿš‚ Engineers I love engaging in debates about the law with the legal community, but it is so refreshing to step outside of that box as often as possible to see problems from the eyes of the communities we are supposed to serve. Following my opening address to His Royal Highness, Prince Abdulaziz bin Saad bin Abdulaziz, the Governor of the Ha'il Region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, I presented on AI governance in healthcare at the Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Medical Sciences (#AIMS). The photographs below are with my non-lawyer colleagues who opened my eyes during their fantastic presentations, and in conversations on the sidelines.

๐Ÿค– CHAPTER 14: "Islamic Ethico-Legal Perspectives on Medical Accountability in the Age of Artificial Intelligence" by Mohammed Ghaly (@IBioethics) (#OpenAccess HERE โ–ถ examines #medicalaccountability through the lens of #Islamicbioethics, addressing how #AI impacts ethical and legal frameworks rooted in Islamic jurisprudence. ๐Ÿšจ Key insights on medical accountability: ๐Ÿ•Œ Divine trust: Medicine is seen as a sacred trust (#Amana), and practitioners are accountable to both God and their patients. AI tools must respect these religious and moral obligations. โš–๏ธ Human limitations: Islamic ethics emphasizes acknowledging human vulnerability and the ethical implications of delegating medical decisions to AI technologies. ๐Ÿ“œ Islamic jurisprudence: Medical errors are evaluated against both divine accountability and liability under Islamic law (#Sharia). ๐Ÿ”’ AI's role in Islamic medical ethics: ๐Ÿค” God's authority: AI cannot replace divine oversight in decision-making. Medical accountability must remain a human responsibility, even when AI tools are involved. ๐Ÿ’ก Patient autonomy: AI use in healthcare must respect patients' rights and their informed consent, balancing autonomy with Islamic principles of trusteeship. ๐Ÿ“š Ethical frameworks: The chapter integrates classical Islamic texts and modern bioethical discussions, providing a comprehensive view of how AI tools align with religious obligations. ๐Ÿ“– Chapter 14 is part of the Research Handbook on Health, AI, and the Law (with I. Glenn Cohen). It offers a unique perspective for understanding AIโ€™s integration into healthcare from a religious and legal standpoint, particularly for Muslim-majority societies. @ElgarPublishing @Elgar_Law @Elgar_Libraries @HBKU @hbku_cl @PetrieFlom @BenBooth157 #AI #HealthLaw #IslamicEthics #MedicalAI #EthicsInHealthcare #ShariaLaw #PatientAutonomy #Accountability #Bioethics

๐Ÿค– CHAPTER 13: "AI, Medicine, and Christian Ethics" by @ZacharyCalo (#OpenAccess HERE โ–ถ explores the role of #AI in healthcare through the lens of #ChristianEthics. The chapter examines how theological principles like #humanDignity, #embodiment, and #vulnerability intersect with emerging uses of AI in #medicine. ๐Ÿšจ Key ethical challenges: โœ๏ธ Human dignity and embodiment: Christian theology emphasizes that human dignity stems from being created in the image of God (#ImagoDei). The chapter critiques AI's potential to undermine this dignity by depersonalizing healthcare or prioritizing efficiency over care. ๐Ÿฉบ Relationality in care: AI's use in #telemedicine or #automatedcare could diminish the doctor-patient relationship, a central tenet of Christian ethical thought that values human connection and solidarity. โš–๏ธ Vulnerability and limits: Medicine must respect human limitations rather than seek to overcome them at any cost. AI's role in decisions around #endoflife care and resource allocation requires careful ethical scrutiny. โœ๏ธChristian ethical perspectives: ๐Ÿ“œ Personalist ethics: Technology must serve the person, enhancing #humanflourishing rather than undermining it. AI should complement, not replace, human elements of #care. ๐Ÿ“– Theological anthropology: The chapter calls for AI policies grounded in a vision of the human that respects our dependence on God and community. ๐Ÿ’ก Key insights for healthcare innovation: ๐ŸŒ Global solidarity: Christian ethics emphasizes care that supports the most vulnerable, resisting AI-driven inequities. ๐Ÿ” Moral reflection on suffering: The use of AI must balance alleviating suffering with a recognition of its role in human experience and growth. ๐Ÿ“– Chapter 13 is part of the Research Handbook on Health, AI, and the Law (with @CohenProf). This chapter contributes a distinctively Christian ethical voice to debates on AI and healthcare, offering insights that resonate with broader moral concerns. @ElgarPublishing @Elgar_Law @Elgar_Libraries @HBKU @hbku_cl @PetrieFlom @BenBooth157 #AI #HealthLaw #ChristianEthics #MedicalAI #EthicsInAI #HumanDignity #Solidarity #HealthcareInnovation #EndOfLifeCare #Telemedicine
