Bruken av kunstig intelligens i helsetjenesten er i rask utvikling, i et tidvis uoversiktlig og forvirrende landskap. Hvordan vil den kommende KI-forordningen fra EU påvirke bruken av kunstig intelligens på legekontoret? Og hva kreves for at fastleger skal kunne ta i bruk KI-verktøy på en trygg og forsvarlig måte? Ukens gjester er David Hui, lege i spesialisering i generell kirurgi og klinisk doktorgradsstipendiat, og Lars Andre Strøm Arnesen, advokat og doktorgradsstipendiat ved Institutt for privatrett. De er blant forfatterne bak en kronikk nylig publisert i Tidsskriftet. Vi snakker om hvor grensene for bruk av kunstig intelligens på legekontoret går, og hva som skjer hvis kravene ikke blir fulgt. Artikkelen «Bruk av KI-verktøy på fastlegekontoret» er skrevet av David Hui, Harriet Akre, Vera Goebel, Thomas Plagemann og Lars Andre Strøm Arnesen.

Invoking Trumps anti-DEI Executive Orders, federal officials purged a report on missing and murdered Native Americans while claiming countries with diversity policies are infringing human rights. The cooperation of civil rights rhetoric to undermine civil rights is nothing new. Nor is the strategic use of racism to justify public and private violence against communities of color and distract impoverished white communities from the source of their material precarity. With limited exception, Democrats are proving unable to defuse the GOPs naked racial politics " including the ongoing weaponization of anti-blackness and Jewish identity " to criminalize dissent, control curricula and crack the Left.Jonathan FeingoldProfessor of LawBoston University School of Lawjfeingol@bu.edu|#RaceClass Podcast|researchWNHNFM.ORG  productionMusic: David Rovics
