Independence, safety and academic seriousness.
The International Society of Medical AI is a clinician-led charitable society. Florence 2026 is convened on academic grounds, with independence safeguards that apply at every stage of the symposium.
Scientific control
The scientific programme is decided by the scientific committee on academic grounds. Final session titles, chairs, speakers, learning objectives and abstract acceptance decisions are not subject to commercial direction.
Sponsorship separation
Industry support, where accepted, is acknowledged in dedicated supporter areas and not within scientific sessions. Supporter logos are not placed on scientific or editorial pages of this site.
Industry-supported satellite events, where they exist, are clearly identified as such and are separated from the accredited scientific programme.
Patient safety orientation
Patient safety is the central commitment of the symposium. Programme decisions, communications and supporter relationships are reviewed against this commitment.
Academic seriousness
Sessions are designed to support careful examination of evidence, including its limits. Claims that the evidence does not support are not advanced from the symposium platform.
Responsible communication about medical AI
Public statements made on behalf of the symposium or the society aim to communicate uncertainty honestly and to avoid promotional language.
Separation of commercial support from educational content
Where European or national accreditation applies, the symposium observes the relevant separation requirements between commercial support and educational content.
Public trust
ISMAI considers public trust in medicine a precondition for responsible innovation. The governance arrangements above are intended to support that trust over time.
