AI, Ethics and Healthcare
Healthcare paves the road for high standards in AI integration.
This week I’m exploring implications of the United States’ Executive Order on Artificial Intelligence. This wordy document fails to succinctly express or vividly imagine its implications, so I’m using a GPT I designed to help surface insights that I can develop into tangible artifacts. (scroll to the bottom for a link to my GPT)
Fresh from a near future, post-executive order timeline, I’ve got something in my stash that's now giving me a twinge of guilt: an AI Integration Specialist ID from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Straight up – it's more than just a badge. It’s a symbol of the era's deep dive into AI regulation.
I don’t plan on keeping it. This ID carries significant weight. It's like holding a piece of the future's ethical compass in my hand. The badge itself is an emblem of a time when healthcare has become the gold standard for integrating AI with human ethics, balancing technological innovation with moral responsibility.
But now, I'm in a bit of a bind. Having this badge feels like holding onto a piece of someone's identity, a key to a world where AI and ethics intertwine in everyday life. I have to find a way to send it back without causing a stir or getting anyone in trouble. Easier said than done when you're dealing with a janky time machine that only gets you to ‘a’ future, and not ‘the’ future.
So, here I am, a time travel blogger with a conscience, looking at this badge and thinking about the implications of my souvenir hunting. It's a reminder that even in the pursuit of the unique and the extraordinary, there are lines that shouldn't be crossed.
For now, the badge stays with me, a token of a timeline where AI is as integral to healthcare as doctors and nurses, and a personal reminder of the responsibility that comes with my time-traveling escapades.
I really love this one. Pondering the consequential nature of travelling into ‘a future’ is a tool we all need to sharpen.
