Turin Academy of Medicine explores the dark side of Artificial Intelligence between ethical dilemmas and regulatory challenges

On Wednesday, April 16, the Academy of Medicine of Turin is preparing to host a scientific session that promises to spark lively debates among experts and the public. The event, scheduled for 21:18 p.m., will take place both in person at Via Po XNUMX and in webinar mode, with the provocative title **“Artificial Intelligence between Science and Ethics: principles, regulatory challenges and social implications.”** In a world of rapid technological evolution, the speakers are preparing to address the complex challenges and opportunities created by Artificial Intelligence (AI).

AI in Medicine: New Horizons and Ethical Dilemmas

The proceedings will be opened by Alessandro Bargoni, Professor of History of Medicine, and Adriano Chiò, Head of the ALS Center at the University of Turin. Afterwards, Guido Boella, Deputy Vice-Rector of the University of Turin, will focus on the impact of AI in medicine, ranging from monitoring to care and management of hospital facilities. **”The transition from symbolic AI to AI based on 'machine learning' has allowed us to achieve diagnostic capabilities comparable to humans,”** explains Boella. The main challenge? Understanding the implications of giving up the explainability of AI systems in favor of superior performance.

A Future Reshaped by Artificial Intelligence

But that’s not all. Luca Peyron, from the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan, will embark on bold reflections on how this technology is not only transforming medicine, but also our way of life. **”Artificial intelligence is redesigning much of our world and especially much of our being, staying, being born, living and dying in this world,”** says Peyron. The questions that arise are countless: **”Who will be the doctor and patient of tomorrow?”** and what long-term effects will this cultural metamorphosis have on our existence?
