After this session you'll be able to:

1. Explain what artificial intelligence is, and how it can and can’t be applied in diagnosis
2. Discuss ways researchers are seeking to use artificial intelligence in medicine
3. Identify actions that can be taken to embrace technological advancements in the OR.

Why this is important:

As we think about the extraordinary possibilities for using technology to save lives and improve patient outcomes in the OR, it is important to keep in mind the limits of what machines can do.

In this talk, author and professor Meredith Broussard looks at the inner workings and outer limits of artificial intelligence, and explains why we should not assume that computers always get things right. If we understand the limits of what we *can* do with technology, Broussard tells us, we can make better choices about what we *should* do with it to make the world better for everyone.
