How to build trust with Trusts on artificial intelligence

Dr Venkat Reddy, consultant neurodevelopmental paediatrician, senior clinical adviser and AI lead at Future Perfect, discusses how AI-enabled analysis of healthcare data can both help clinicians, and encourage patients to be more engaged in their own care.

Aside from the few clinicians with an interest in clinical informatics and digital health, views are still largely shaped by newspaper headlines about killer robots. Unfortunately, there has been concern over the use of algorithms due to recent events. Not to mention the negative press about the use, or misuse, of AI by social media giants to gather information and'snoop on people'.
