Michael Puntschuh, Beyond AI Collective

Artificial intelligence is gaining ground in medicine and nursing – it recognizes patterns, supports diagnoses and helps improve treatments. But what can AI really do, where are its limits, and how does humans remain the focus?

Michael Puntschuh from the Beyond AI Collective shows how AI is already used in healthcare today and what ethical, societal and practical questions arise from this. An exciting lecture on the future of medicine between innovation, responsibility and trust.
