With their increasing deployment in everyday treatment and care, it becomes ever most important to consider how best to transition towards AI-enabled healthcare systems. Building on the report of the Council of Europe Steering Committee for Human Rights in the fields of Biomedicine and Health (CDBIO) on the impact of AI on the “patient-doctor” relationship, the purpose of the conference will be to discuss the human rights implications for patient autonomy, professional standards, equitable access to healthcare, and private life and right to information.
