Hastings Open House: AI, Health, and Bioethics
Our campus overlooking the Hudson River came to life on the beautiful evening of June 13 when many old and new friends gathered at our open house. Scientists, doctors, executives, artists, and others mixed it up with Hastings scholars and other staff, board members, fellows, and neighbors.
A centerpiece of the event was a discussion about AI, health, and bioethics featuring Leigh Hafrey, a senior lecturer at MIT Sloan School of Management, and Vardit Ravitsky, president and CEO of The Hastings Center, cosponsored by The Hastings Center and the Harvard-Radcliffe Club of the Hudson Valley. Among the challenging questions raised: Do patients have the right to know if AI is reading their X-rays? If a patient suffers harm after being diagnosed or treated with AI, who is responsible? What is needed for AI in health care to gain our trust?
Thanks to those who made this event a success.
