Six lectures analysing AI's role in healthcare: what works, what doesn't, and how to build systems that serve population health. Dr. Jessica
About this Event

Dr. Jessica Morley from the Yale Digital Ethics Centre examines the role of artificial intelligence in healthcare across six lectures. The series explores the gap between AI's technical capabilities and the claims made about its potential, analyzing why these systems often perform differently in clinical settings than in controlled research environments. The lectures address how AI applications relate to existing health inequalities, the governance challenges posed by continuously evolving systems, and the ways current implementations are reshaping healthcare practice—including shifts toward algorithm-based medicine and data-centric care models. Drawing on sociotechnical analysis of healthcare infrastructure and critical examination of the information-deficit model of health behavior, Dr. Morley argues that many implementation challenges stem from misalignment between AI system design and the lived reality of healthcare. The series concludes by proposing alternative approaches that prioritize population health and address structural determinants of health outcomes rather than focusing solely on individual behavioral change. Relevant for healthcare professionals, policymakers, researchers, and those interested in the intersection of technology and healthcare systems.
