SEASON 3, EPISODE 11 - Chhavi Chauhan, PhD - The Need for Ethics in Digital Pathology

Today we dive into a field that hasn't existed until very recently - ethics in AI and digital pathology. What is ethics and how is it relevant in digital pathology? We all want to do the right thing, don't we? Maybe easier said than done? Do we even have a working definition of AI that people can agree on? We discuss a framework for ethics, incorporating such principles as fairness and inclusiveness, transparency, and algorithmic bias to name a few. What are the risks of artificial intelligence for pathologists, either real or imagined?
