Hosted by the PKG Public Service Center, this six-hour symposium brings together thought leaders and community voices to address the intersection of AI, health equity, and ethics. The event emphasizes epistemic humility, cultural humility, and the inclusion of diverse perspectives to reshape the use of AI in healthcare and prevent it from exacerbating disparities.
