Supercomputing technology continues to advance, unlocking Artificial Intelligence and Big Data-driven tools to revolutionize healthcare research, diagnosis, treatment, and patient care. But while immense computational power is laying the foundation for a new realm of possibilities in healthcare, the successful integration of these technologies requires addressing challenges related to privacy, security, scalability, reliability, and collaboration among stakeholders. The new frontier of healthcare technology is upon us — but as with any novel approach, how do we mitigate the risks while maximizing the rewards?

This eye-opening discussion will preview some of the ethical and social concerns of AI in healthcare as we approach the quarter-century mark. Will AI democratize healthcare, or will it serve only to increase divides? What are the security, privacy, and political concerns as we manage the digitization of records and mass amounts of patient data? Can government and regulators keep pace with the speed of technological change, and what are the inherent risks if they fall behind? And through all of this, can we expect greater cultural and political cohesion… or further erosion of our social fabric?

In a new world of healthcare where computers are front and center, how we do solve for the human experience? Will patients be comfortable with AI-enabled doctors and tech-driven approaches to care? Will doctors be comfortable with updated workplace procedures and adapting to new consumer expectations? How are we ensuring compassionate and empathetic medical care and advice, and a human-centered patient experience and standard of care, as we trend more and more towards tech-based decision making? And what can we learn from other sectors and industries that have already encountered this technological disruption, yet have kept the customer at the center of everything they do?
