Had the absolute (and slightly scary) pleasure of being a panellist on today's BBC Radio 4 Woman's Hour special on AI and women's health.

Responsible AI is about more than safety and ethics, it’s using AI to make things better for everyone

Malte Gerhold from @healthfoundation.bsky.social at #Rewired25 - by 2040, 1 in 5 people in England will be living with a major illness. We need to innovate on how we deliver care and transform how it is experienced

Excited to be speaking at #Rewired25 this afternoon on how the public and staff feel about AI and health.

Find me on the Patient Engagement and Outcomes Stage at 3pm!

📢 Not long to go now until #Rewired25!

I'll be on the 'Patient Engagement and Outcomes' stage at 3pm on Tues 18 March talking about the findings from our @healthfoundation.bsky.social survey of ~8,500 NHS staff and members of the UK public, investigating their attitudes towards AI in healthcare.

A real privilege to talk at #WomeninAI2025 today on our @healthfoundation.bsky.social research looking at how women feel about AI and health.

Knowing what women think is critical for getting tech right. We cannot have an AI revolution if we leave half the population behind

Great to speak at #GIANT2024 today on ‘The Trouble with AI’ - there are of course reasons to be cheerful, but plenty of reasons to be cautious. We need considered, challenge-driven, responsible AI that works for *all* people, society and the planet 🧍‍♀️👥 🌎

For the NHS to use AI responsibly, the public must support it. While 54% support AI for care, 1 in 6 think it will make the quality of care worse & 53% think it will make them feel more distant from health care staff.

We must protect the human dimension of care.
