Knowledge is power. Your contribution counts.
Liberties, together with several of its member and partner organizations and independent expert Júlia Keserű, has launched the AI in the Healthcare Project. The project is currently gathering data on the use of artificial intelligence systems in healthcare, an issue that poses potential threats to privacy and data protection, in particular highly sensitive, personal information.
We hope to use the project to set a foundation for improved governance in AI healthcare tools that will foster a responsible, accountable environment for the integration of AI in healthcare. In turn, this will allow for the developments and implementation of – eventually paving the road to further safeguards in data protection and AI practices.
The Liberties members and partners participating in the project are Apache (Belgium), the League of Human Rights (Czech Republic), Gesellschaft für Freiheitsrechte (Germany), the K-Monitor (Hungary), the Italian Coalition for Civil Liberties and Rights (Italy), the Amphora (Malta), NJCM (the Netherlands), APADOR-CH (Romania), and Xnet (Spain).
