Ron Daniels, President of The Johns Hopkins University, shared on LinkedIn:
“In the fight against cancer, the tools at our disposal have grown ever more powerful, each leap forward bringing new hope – and new questions about how to wield that power responsibly.
At our latest Next Conversations event, Hopkins’ own Ashani Weeraratna and Vasan Yegnasubramanian joined Pulitzer Prize-winning author Siddhartha Mukherjee for a discussion with NPR’s Steve Inskeep on AI, ethics, and the next frontier in cancer care.
In my opening remarks, I found myself returning to questions that have long been at the heart of medicine, but take on new urgency in this moment:
- How do we use technology in a humane way?
- How do we ensure these tools benefit all patients?
- And how do we preserve what has always mattered most – the human connection, the clinical judgment, the trust between doctor and patient?
I hope you’ll give the conversation a listen.”
