"Will AI Replace the Doctor?"

Overview
This one-hour panel session explores one of the most provocative and timely questions facing the future of healthcare: "Will AI replace the Doctor?". As artificial intelligence continues to advance in diagnostics, triage, and decision support, the boundaries between human and machine expertise in medicine are rapidly shifting.
Bringing together voices from software development, digital health innovation and MedTech, this session will delve into how AI is currently being built and integrated into healthcare systems—and what that means for the role of clinicians going forward.
Through a dynamic panel discussion and interactive Q&A, we’ll examine whether AI is on a path to replace human judgment, or if the future lies in a more collaborative model between algorithms and professionals.
Themes will include the power and limits of medical AI, patient trust, regulation, data ethics, and the redefinition of clinical roles in an AI-augmented world.
A must-attend for technologists, innovators, healthcare professionals, and anyone curious about the future of medicine.
