Artificial intelligence offers vast opportunities for advancement in healthcare tech. To surpass competitors and succeed with the next generation of AI tech, companies need to focus on making medical and healthcare technology more humane, easier to use, and ethical.
“Addressing the challenges and opportunities around how technology affects our community is hugely important,” said Hugh Forrest, Chief Programming Officer at SXSW. “From privacy to blockchain to AI to MedTech, using this lens to filter how we look at a lot of issues facing modern society allows us to connect the dots in a deeper way. Especially in the case of an area like AI, where there’s quite a bit of uncertainty and fear, we also want to showcase how these innovations can be ethical and improve lives.”
