Every month, the Bridge Center will invite a speaker to participate in a monthly speaker series related to ethical issues in biomedical research. 

This month, Dr. Ida Sim discussed relational AI in healthcare and its impact on respecting all persons, including patients and clinicians. With generative AI, machines now used natural language to relate to humans, creating both intended and unintended emotional effects. Unlike earlier AI, which focused on predictions, relational AI raised new ethical concerns grounded in respect for persons.
