Responsible AI in HealthCare: Considerations and Opportunities

​AI is offering new opportunities to address persistent, high-impact societal challenges. In domains where social and human stakes are high, practical value will depend not only on technical performance, but on how well AI systems are aligned with ethical, institutional, and operational realities. Addressing this need requires sustained, cross-disciplinary collaboration grounded in real-world practice. To this end, ÆTHOS Berlin is building an interdisciplinary community of founders, researchers, practitioners, domain experts, and policymakers.

​In this workshop, we will discuss real-world care challenges and the constraints that shape responsible AI use. Participants are invited to contribute practical perspectives.

​What we aim to produce:

​The workshop will produce Challenge Briefs: short documents that describe (a) a concrete care problem, (b) its real-world impact, and (c) the key institutional, ethical, and practical constraints involved. Where it emerges naturally, the briefs may also note open directions for work, such as further research or approaches for AI implementation. The briefs will be published publicly after the event and shared as reference material for future research and innovation.

​Workshop format (2 hours):

• ​Short, problem‑focused inputs from care‑domain experts, early‑stage startups, and other workshop attendees.

• ​Small, mixed working groups

• ​Each group drafts one brief using a simple structure:
  Problem · Impact · Constraints · Directions

• ​Sharing and discussion

​Why your participation matters:

• ​Help ensure that actual constraints shape how AI problems are defined

• ​Bring institutional, ethical, and operational realities into the discussion early

• ​Contribute to challenge definitions that shape the community’s future focus

• ​Be acknowledged as a contributing participant in this first workshop

​ What participation could involve:

• ​Share a real-world care‑domain challenge

• ​Contributing to the drafting group

• ​Bring a laptop if possible.

​This is an ÆTHOS community initiative. Participants are welcome to share what they are working on, but the focus will remain on problem framing rather than product pitching. If you have questions or would like to help with the workshop, please let us know.

Warm Regards,
