What ISMAI 2026 offers this audience
Ethics, law and regulation are treated as scientific threads across the ISMAI 2026 programme, not as an appendix to technical content.
The symposium brings ethicists, clinicians, methodologists and healthcare leaders into the same room, so questions of accountability and legitimacy are worked through with the communities they concern.
Governance content is grounded in real institutional and regulatory conditions rather than treated abstractly.
Core questions covered
These are the questions the programme is designed to hold open for discussion. They set the scientific and professional register a reader in this audience can expect.
- How should accountability and liability be distributed across clinicians, institutions and suppliers when AI informs care?
- How should consent, autonomy and dignity be protected when algorithmic systems influence a clinical decision?
- How can equity, transparency and public trust be maintained as medical AI is adopted?
- What regulatory and institutional mechanisms make responsible medical AI possible in practice?
