AI and the Future of Healthcare (Panel)

​Will we even need doctors in five years, or are we watching the birth of something radically new? This panel confronts the rapid rise of AI in medicine, from AI-led diagnosis and robotic healing to empowered patients disrupting care models.

​Bringing together an AI ethicist, a cancer patient innovating with digital tools, and a physician shaping future medical education, the session explores whether artificial intelligence will make the doctor extinct—or challenge clinicians, patients, and technologists to invent a more compassionate, intelligent partnership for tomorrow’s healthcare.
