What do we want from AI in healthcare?
On Monday, 9 March 2026, at 4.30 pm, will take place an online seminar entitled What do we want from AI in healthcare? held by professor Ann Blandford, organised by the Department of Control and Computer Engineering-DAUIN. The event is part of the Responsible Artificial Intelligence (RAI) seminar series.
Abstract
AI is changing our lives, the ways we manage our health, and the ways health systems and practitioners support us. In this talk, I will reflect on the evolving roles of AI in healthcare. I will draw on examples from my team’s research to highlight requirements on AI technologies if their impact on healthcare is to be widely seen as positive. I will close by sketching possible visions for the future of AI in healthcare.
Speaker: Ann Blandford, University College London - UCL
