Author Talk with Charlotte Blease
Speaker: Charlotte Blease, PhD, Health Informaticist and Associate Professor at Uppsala University
Join Dr. Ken Mandl, Director of the Computational Health Informatics Program (CHIP) at Boston Children’s Hospital, for a conversation with Dr. Charlotte Blease — philosopher, Associate Professor at Uppsala University, and former Harvard Medical School researcher — on her acclaimed book Dr. Bot: Why Doctors Can Fail Us—and How AI Could Save Lives.
Modern medicine is extraordinary, and doctors' represent the acme of human expertise, yet patients are still let down by bias, error, and burnout. Drawing on nearly two decades of research, Blease asks an uncomfortable question: what if machines could be more humane than the doctors treating us? This talk examines where human care breaks down — and whether AI could make medicine safer, more effective, and more humane than it has ever been.
