Partnership between Joint Centre for Bioethics and AMS Healthcare to shape the future of artificial intelligence in Canada's health system A new partnership with AMS Healthcare is supporting the University of Toronto Joint Centre for Bioethics (JCB) accelerate knowledge and inform practice on ethical artificial intelligence (AI) in health care. "We are thrilled to partner with AMS Healthcare in exploring how AI may be a force for good to improve health and health care, particularly from the perspective of patients and providers," said Jennifer Gibson, JCB Director, based at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health. The gift is supporting JCB's AI and the Future of Caring initiative, one of four priority themes in the JCB's Ethics and AI for Good Health strategy. The other three priority areas are: Public Trust of AI for Health; Ethical Governance of AI for Health; and Equity and the Digital Divide. AI and related digital health technologies hold promise for promoting healthy behaviours, enabling prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, and addressing health equity gaps in health policy and planning. However, there are important ethical questions about what impact AI-enabled health care and related technologies will have on patient-provider relationships and on public trust.
