In this panel, Dr. Nicoleta Economou and Martin Palicka will engage in a thoughtful and practical discussion at the intersection of technology and medicine. Drawing on their complementary expertise, they will explore where AI is already delivering meaningful clinical and operational value, where expectations may be inflated, and where real risks demand careful oversight.
The conversation will focus on actionable strategies for designing, evaluating, and implementing AI systems that are safe, equitable, and aligned with human needs. Topics will include governance frameworks, transparency and trust, human-centered design, and the roles of clinicians, health systems, industry, and regulators in shaping responsible AI.
Ultimately, this session asks a critical question: How can we move beyond the dichotomy of help versus harm to build AI that truly serves patients, clinicians, and society? Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of both the opportunities and responsibilities that come with integrating AI into healthcare—and what it will take to get it right.
