Healing with algorithms?

AI in medicine – chances, risks, challenges

The entire healthcare system is undergoing a process not only of digitization, but also of algorithmic penetration. From prevention to diagnostics and therapy to care, high hopes are being placed in the new technologies: The healthcare sector is supposed to become better, more efficient, more individualized and more cost-effective. How realistic are these promises? What risks are associated with this development? And above all, what do those affected, the citizens, actually think about it? In order to do justice to the breathtaking technological developments in the healthcare sector, we have invited experts from various fields. By blending different perspectives, a fundamental reflection on healing with algorithms becomes possible.
