Artificial Intelligence in Biobanking: Ethical, Legal and Societal Challenges
eBook 정보
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.
