On November 2, 2018, the Solomon Center for Health Law and Policy at Yale Law School and the Information Society Project co-hosted a cutting-edge interdisciplinary roundtable exploring "The Law and Policy of AI, Robotics, and Telemedicine in Health Care." The roundtable brought together thirty leading academics, lawyers, physicians, policy makers, and health technology entrepreneurs to explore how novel technologies are revolutionizing health care, reshaping what it means to practice medicine, challenging existing regulatory schemes, and informing norms about patient information, data, and privacy. The event attracted an audience of more than 150 guests and featured five panel discussions: "The Need for New Regulation: Privacy Law, the FDA, and Beyond," "Big Data in Health Care: Challenges, Biases, and Benefits," "Keynote Panel: Business Leaders and Physicians Putting New Technologies into Action," "Expanding Care to New Populations: The Promises and Perils of New Technology," and "AI, Robots, and the Practice of Medicine." See here for more coverage of the roundtable.
