ROCHE Tower Talks at ETH: 'Human or Machine – Who makes the diagnosis?'

#artificialintelligence

Dr. Daniel Stauffacher and Regina Surber of the Zurich Hub for Ethics and Technology (ZHET) participated at the discussion event'Mensch oder Maschine – Wer stellt die Diagnose?, co-organised by the pharmaceutical company Roche and the University ETH in Zurich, on 8 May 2019. One of the firsts of its kind, this very important panel opened the discussion about the transformative change of current and future healthcare through new technologies. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics are already a given in our modern technological lives. Those technologies – and others – also fundamentally influence the healthcare sector, a fact that raises pressing questions, such as: What is the role of future medical doctors? Which human medical aspects are quantifiable and might therefore be outsourced or supported by, e.g., AI-enabled technologies, and which are not, and will still require human power and discernment? The panel was moderated by Marina Villa, SRF.
