In this webinar in collaboration with the Future Healthcare Journal (FHJ). We hosted a live debate on FHJ’s recent article: Will AI replace clinical decision making in our lifetimes?
In their conversation with our editor-in-chief, Dr Dan Smith, they will share experiences and tips from their clinical practice to facilitate conversations around uncertain recovery, with an opportunity for questions from the audience.
Explore valuable insights from the panel of experts, including the RCP’s digital health clinical lead Dr Anne Kinderlerer and Vice-President of the RCP Professor Tom Solomon, as they debate the key ethical, economic and social factors that are shaping the role of AI in clinical decision making.
