Beschreibung

This insightful collection highlights the ethical, legal and societal issues associated with the increasing role played by artificial intelligence (AI) in medical biobanks, a key research resource in the global study of disease prevention and improving individual care.

Although AI has the potential to speed up health research, the book considers numerous questions that the technology poses, from the building of trust to the prevention of harm to individuals, vulnerable groups or entire populations. Examining the tension between scientific progress and safeguarding of individual rights, and covering key issues such as accountability, data bias, transparency, and liability, the book considers the legal landscape in which biobanks operate, and what layers of governance are required to oversee such an important resource in a fluid technological age.

A timely volume that brings together scholars and experts from social sciences, ethics, and law, this important book will interest researchers and professionals in Biomedicine, Law, and the broader Health Sciences.

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This impressive collection offers a fresh approach to the complex issues surrounding the use of AI in the field of biobanking. I highly recommend this book for the scope and quality of its contributions and the expertise of its authors. The authors are leaders in their field and offer insights that are useful not only for biobanking but also for other areas of biomedical research. This collection provides a clear, innovative and analytical presentation of these issues that no other book has done before."

"Biobanks - collections of biological materials and data - have long been recognized for their potential in research on diseases, treatments and prevention methods, and in healthcare more generally. With recent developments in AI and big data analytics, an even greater potential is being unleashed. Yet at the same time, various pressing ethical, legal, and social issues arise. Michaela Th. Mayrhofer, Santa Slokenberga and Signe Mezinska have curated an excellent set of papers that tackle these crucial issues head on. A must-read for anybody interested in AI, big data, and biobanking!"
- Sven Nyholm, Professor of the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet Muenchen, Germany

"Artificial intelligence is like the Wild West right now, so books like Artificial Intelligence in Biobanking: Ethical, Legal and Societal Challenges are vital for understanding how to develop and deploy new technologies in a responsible, legal, ethical, and socially beneficial manner. The contributors address a range of important issues to do with the use of AI in biobanking, highlighting the importance of not treating AI as a mysterious black box we cannot shape in democratic and responsible ways."
