The MPS Foundation has announced that it is hosting a second symposium – “AI Safety: AI in Action” – to explore real-world use of AI in healthcare to enhance patient care and reduce risk, while explaining the some of the practical, ethical, and legal challenges that need to be considered with its use.
Speakers at the online event on 29 May 2025 will discuss how AI could improve the patient consent process, be used to identify periodontal disease, and support healthcare professionals to record their consultations.
The speakers include:
