"𝐀𝐈 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲: 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞"

AI is advancing at an unprecedented pace. But how can we ensure that its benefits are shared fairly, while minimising the risks it brings to society?

On 𝟏𝟔 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫, we welcome Geoff Webb, Australian Laureate Fellow and Vice Chancellor’s Distinguished Professor at Monash University, for a seminar exploring how technology can help shape a better future for humanity.

In “AI for humanity: Technologies for a better future”, Geoff Webb will explore practical approaches to reducing AI’s potential harms and ensuring its benefits serve diverse societies, cultures and values. From AI systems aligned with local needs to technologies that go beyond English-speaking contexts, the talk will address how we can build AI that works for people, not the other way around.
An opportunity to reflect on the challenges and possibilities of AI, and on the role of research in making it more responsible, inclusive and beneficial to society.

What does it take to develop clinically meaningful AI while protecting health data and maintaining trust?

Join the AISym4MED – Horizon Europe Final Event, “Trustworthy AI for Healthcare: From Research to Policy”, on 15 October in Brussels.

A central part of the programme will be the policy roundtable, “Building Clinically Meaningful AI: Legal and Ethical Challenges Around Data, Evidence and Accountability”. The discussion will examine how data protection, privacy-preserving technologies and clinical utility can be balanced while ensuring robust evidence, fairness, accountability and patient safety.

The event will also connect project results with current European priorities such as the AI Act and the European Health Data Space, and will create space for dialogue between research, policy and practice.
