Debates about AI in healthcare often focus on efficiency, productivity, and freeing up staff time. But what if we asked a different question: How can AI improve people’s lives?
In this session, experts from research, healthcare, and industry challenge the narrative of AI primarily as a cost-saving tool. Drawing on real-world examples, they discuss how AI can contribute to earlier diagnoses, greater emphasis on prevention, better patient care, and stronger public services. The session also raises the question of whether targets for cost savings and staff-hour reductions risk overshadowing the technology’s potential to create genuine value for society.
