Panelists will discuss current uses, proposed developments, and the ethical and theological questions raised by the application of artificial intelligence to health.

The webinar is being held in conjunction with a full-day meeting on the same topic. 

The meeting and webinar will bring together a panel of experts including medical practitioners, ethicists, theologians, and technology specialists for a multidisciplinary dialogue.

The dialogue will address current applications, including understanding how AI is already reshaping diagnosis, treatment, and healthcare access.

Panelists will also discuss future trajectories, exploring emerging developments and their potential impact on global health.

Also on the agenda will be ethical frameworks, or how to engage with critical ethical questions through diverse faith perspectives. Theological reflections will also consider how theological traditions can guide technological implementation.

There will be an opportunity to engage directly with leading experts with a Q&A session.
