Join Scot Morris, OD, and his guest, Dena Weitzman, OD, FAAO, Senior Director of Medical Affairs at Digital Diagnostics, for the latest episode of Real Talk.
They discuss the ethics of AI, examining if bias is a “glitch” in our heads or in the code. Dr. Weitzman emphasizes the need to minimize bias at every stage of the total product life cycle, not just during development and validation. They debate the ethical cost of inaction in adopting AI tools, especially with a projected global shortfall of 11 billion health workers by 2030.
The conversation includes the future of oculomics, which Dr. Morris argues the eye care profession must embrace or risk being left behind. They also touch upon the “glamour versus impact AI,” stressing that technology must solve real-world problems and not overburden the existing health care system.
