AI & Society | AI in Healthcare
Details
AI is no longer just generating content in the background.
It is advising, recommending, summarising — and increasingly shaping real-world decisions in clinical settings.
So the real question is no longer what AI can do in healthcare. It's when is it safe to trust it?
Join AI & Society for an evening exploring the human, ethical, and practical dimensions of AI in medicine — featuring expert keynote speakers, a panel discussion, and an interactive workshop.

Why this conversation matters
Modern AI systems can produce fluent, confident outputs — yet research shows they still struggle with robust reasoning and real-world grounding in complex clinical environments. As AI becomes embedded in diagnosis, treatment planning, and healthcare administration, human oversight isn't optional. It's essential.
This event explores that shift through both technical insight and societal reflection.

About AI & Society
AI & Society is a national community convening people across disciplines to explore the human, ethical, and civic implications of artificial intelligence. Through curated events and facilitated workshops across Australian cities, we build practical AI literacy, bridge technical insight with societal responsibility, and strengthen human judgement in an AI-enabled world.
AI & Society is not about hype. It's about discernment.
Because the defining question is no longer what AI can do — but what society should trust.
