Artificial Intelligence is now integrated into all aspects of our work & bringing about huge transformations in every field of endeavor.  AI is rapidly evolving, yet the guardrails and guidelines regarding the ethical applications and use of AI have not been defined. This uncertainty is a growing concern in our community as well as for our patients. There is an urgent need for discussions that parallel the technological innovation and focus on responsibility & accountability of applying AI. This workshop is designed to explore current scenarios of ethical issues facing those who use AI algorithms across diverse arenas including clinical care, medical education, research, and human resources.  We aim to bring together participants across UT Southwestern for a robust conversation about the ethics of AI design, its responsible usage, and integration.  This day-long event is an interactive forum on ethical issues led by the course directors and guided by some of the current literature on this topic. Participants will be provided with selected publications on ethical issues, which will be used as a springboard for facilitated plenary discussions. To keep the thought exchanges cohesive, we will limit participation to 24.

Outcomes (after the workshop, participants will have...)

• Overall understanding of the dynamic AI landscape
• Working knowledge of ethical requirements for AI design and use
• A network of colleagues on campus who are engaged in planning a future with responsible and accountable AI.

The discussions covered in this workshop will ultimately coalesce into tangible goals towards ethical AI that can be communicated with UTSW leadership. The panel will also endeavor to publish this discussion via a white paper or a short report.
