Description

Artificial intelligence, advanced machine learning and Big Data will transform the health & life sciences. While offering amazing possibilities, there is no doubt that these technologies raise many legal questions with regard to IP, liability, patient involvement, bias, discrimination, competition etc. They will also disrupt traditional value chains and structures in the health care sector.How do we regulate intermediate technology? Most innovation policy levers are not set up to consider whether intermediate technologies ought to be regulated differently than technologies which are further along in the development process. What is the role of industry in the innovation ecosystem and how does that fit in the European Science Cloud Declaration (EOSC)? How does the Nuremberg Code help us address the opportunities and challenges we face with the application of AI and Big Data in the health and life science sector?This seminar features a distinguished list of prominent international speakers that will debate some of the most crucial legal challenges arising from these issues.
