As AI technologies increasingly become a part of healthcare in general and radiology in particular, ethical decisions embedded into these technologies become crucial. In this talk, we will explore the ethical risks in research and development of AI technologies and how these risks can be addressed throughout the innovation process using examples within radiology.
“The panel will discuss how AI can be used to predict future behavior and how to identify and address ethical and moral conundrums. Examples for how this technology is already being applied range from AI-based sentencing, policing, determination of insurance rates, conducting of job interviews etc. Whose responsibility is it to assess the social and societal impact of these applications? At what point do ethics come into play? Do they ever? If so, what are some of the concerns? Will ethics help, or do we need regulation and legal frameworks?”
“In the fight against COVID-19, decision-makers need accurate real-time data and information to understand and anticipate where it spreads, the demand on health and care services, and building a strategy to safely end social distancing. This panel will discuss the ethical issues in pandemic preparedness and response focused on data and information.”
“The increasing interest in research involving artificial intelligence (AI) adds a new dimension to individuals who work with human subjects and those responsible for human subject protections. This webinar explores the current protections, regulatory elements and ethics tools associated with protecting human subjects in light of AI research, including a discussion of their current limitations.”
How should the future’s business leaders think about the ethical questions that arise in AI technologies?
What does AI ethics mean? How does AI ethics become relevant to the businesses and products?
In this webinar, we discuss and find answers to these questions with use-cases, hands-on exercises, and philosophical tools.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, various technological tools are explored. One of them is digital contact tracing. Contact tracing applications raise various questions about their technology, ethics, and implementation.
All Tech is Human brings together experts in the field to discuss and debate:
Should contact tracing be mandatory?
How do we balance our civil liberties with a demand for collective action?
Thanks to privacy-by-design technology, population-wide mandatory use of digital contact tracing apps (DCT) can be both more efficient and more respective of privacy than conventional manual contact tracing, and considerably less intrusive than current lockdowns. Even if counterintuitive, mandatory private-by-design DCT is therefore the only ethical option for fighting COVID-19.
As coronavirus cases increase worldwide, institutions keep their communities informed with frequent updates—but only up to a point. They share minimal information such as number of cases, but omit the names of individuals and identifying information.
Many institutions are legally obligated to protect individual privacy, but is this prohibition of transparency ethically justified?
How should the future’s developers, data scientists, and business leaders think about the ethical questions that arise in AI technologies? What does AI ethics mean? How does it become relevant to our lives and to what we create? How can we create better technologies for the betterment of the society?
These are some of the questions we discuss in this seminar.
After the Lab’s workshop on “Black Mirror and Philosophy”, Dr. Ihle and Dr. Canca’s chapter on ‘White Christmas’ is published. The chapter focuses on the tension between privacy and access to information.
About the book:
“A philosophical look at the twisted, high-tech near-future of the sci-fi anthology series Black Mirror, offering a glimpse of the darkest reflections of the human condition in digital technology.”

Talk & Panel: Ethical Design in New Technologies / Yeni Teknolojilerde Etik Dizayn
“Son yıllarda, Yapay Zekâ alanında “etik” sorular büyük ağırlık kazandı. Artık sadece teknoloji devi şirketler değil Start-up’lar da proje ve girişimlerinde etik soruları göz önüne alıyorlar. Teknolojinin gelişmesiyle birlikte akademi ve endüstride karşımıza çıkan “yapay zekâ etiği” üzerine çalışan dünyada öncü inisiyatiflerden Boston/İstanbul merkezli AI Ethics Lab’ın kurucusu Cansu Canca ile Workinton olarak gerçekleştireceğimiz iş birliklerini konuşuyor, İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi ve IBM’den değerli misafirlerimiz ile akademi ve endüstri alanlarında etik soruların geleceğini tartışıyoruz.”
