Center for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine

Organization

Embedded Ethics Lab

Artificial intelligence is likely to have a profound impact on our whole society. It raises deep ethical and legal questions. At CAIM, research, education and interactions with partners from clinics and industry are thus accompanied by ethical reflection. Related activities crystallize at the Embedded Ethics Lab, an integral part of CAIM.

The multidisciplinary Embedded Ethics Lab aims

to provide low-threshold ethical support to our researchers,
to facilitate cross-disciplinary discussion on the broader significance of AI,
to complement the natural science perspective on AI with viewpoints from the humanities,
to foster, and to contribute to, the public debate on AI.

Survey on artificial intelligence in medicine

The Ethics Lab of the Center for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (CAIM) collected voices from the public to learn about their perception of opportunities or risks associated to the use of artificial intelligence in medicine. The results will flow back into the center’s research activities.
