Investigating how to explicitly encode ethical, cultural, and personal values into AI-driven clinical decision-support systems so that recommendations align with patient, clinician or societal norms.
As AI systems become more prevalent in healthcare, a critical question emerges: How do we ensure that AI recommendations align with human values?
Different patients, cultures, and communities may have varying perspectives on treatment preferences, end-of-life care, risk tolerance, and quality of life considerations.
Multi-faceted approach to value-aligned AI in healthcare
Developing methods to systematically capture and represent patient values, preferences, and cultural considerations in computational formats.
Creating structured frameworks that integrate ethical principles with clinical evidence to guide AI-assisted medical decisions.
Ensuring AI systems can adapt their recommendations based on cultural backgrounds, religious beliefs, and community norms.
Building transparent AI systems that can explain how values influence their recommendations and maintaining trust through interpretability.
Translating value-based AI frameworks into practical clinical tools that can be integrated into existing healthcare workflows.
Developing governance frameworks and policy recommendations for ethical AI deployment in healthcare systems.
How value-based AI transforms clinical decision making
Developing AI systems that consider patient values regarding quality of life, comfort care preferences, and family involvement in end-of-life treatment decisions.
AI systems that consider individual patient values such as risk tolerance, lifestyle preferences, and personal goals when recommending treatment options.
