Why this audience should attend

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.

  • 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?
