Constantine Psimopoulos will engage key current questions raised by the use of AI in Medicine including: Is the use of AI in Medicine uniformly beneficent or are aspects of its use worrisome?  How can future doctors, scientists and clinicians adhere to the principle of nonmaleficence, "first do no harm" in the context of AI?  What biases are embedded in AI algorithms, and how do these affect the goals of social justice and health equity?  Should bioethics conversations be focusing more on human flourishing; how do we define of this?  Considerations from the fields of philosophy, theology, law, anthropology and social science will be explored.
