7 | Dr Fawz Kazzazi | AI in healthcare - How do we balance innovation, ethics, and patient safety?

Can we make Artifical Intelligence in Healthcare ethically? How do we ensure AI is safe for patients? And how good are the contingency plans for the AI that is already being used in the NHS? 

Dr Fawz Kazzazi suggests more guidance is needed. Fawz is a Core Surgical Trainee in London, and studying for a Masters in Law and Medical Ethics at Edinburgh University. He studied Medicine at Cambridge University and has published a classification of medical in the Journal of Future Health.

Fawz and Zack discuss the implications of black-boxes in healthcare, Elon Musk's view on deregulation being needed for innovation, whether software companies have a duty of care if AI has unintended consequences, and what the health system needs to do to stay ahead of technology.
