Listen "SEASON 3, EPISODE 11 - Chhavi Chauhan, PhD - The Need for Ethics in Digital Pathology"
Episode Synopsis
Today we dive into a field that hasn't existed until very recently - ethics in AI and digital pathology. What is ethics and how is it relevant in digital pathology? We all want to do the right thing, don't we? Maybe easier said than done? Do we even have a working definition of AI that people can agree on?
We discuss a framework for ethics, incorporating such principles as fairness and inclusiveness, transparency, and algorithmic bias to name a few. What are the risks of artificial intelligence for pathologists, either real or imagined?
Dr. Chhavi Chauhan is Director of Scientific Outreach at the American Society for Investigative Pathology, a Program Manager for the Women in AI Accelerate & Raise Program, and currently serves on the Boards for 8 different mission-driven organizations in the spheres of scholarly publishing, digital pathology, AI Ethics, & youth education.
She is a former biomedical researcher, expert scholarly communicator, and a sought-after mentor in the fields of scientific research, scholarly publishing, and AI Ethics, especially for women and minorities. She is a thought leader, a renowned international speaker, and a strong advocate for equitable and accessible healthcare.
She was named in the AI Makers 150 AI & Analytics Leaders & Influencers 2021 List, the 100 Brilliant Women in AI Ethics 2022 list, the Top 100 Women of the Future 2023 List, and was listed as a Finalist for the AI in Researcher Award '23 from Women In AI.
