AI in Healthcare Systems
Drawing parallels between the thalidomide tragedy and modern AI healthcare systems, this short explores why we demand drug trials but deploy untested AI algorithms that affect life-and-death medical decisions.
About This Documentary
The thalidomide story is historically significant, creating a memorable parallel. Connecting past regulation lessons to current AI highlights the need for urgent regulation and responsible governance. The life-and-death scenarios dealt with by unchecked AI systems are highly risky and entirely avoidable. Thalidomide's tragedy reshaped drug testing. Healthcare AI now affects diagnoses and treatments—without equivalent rigour, biases and errors can cost lives. If we demand trials for drugs, why not for algorithms?
