Speakers will highlight the strengths and limitations of AI, while offering actionable recommendations for continued evaluations for real-world implementations that prioritize patient safety and minimize harm. However there will also be a focus on the connections between people, institutions, and ideas, and what it takes to design systems where good outcomes become the norm.
"Whilst artificial intelligence is certainly creating a great deal of public apprehension, and will have a disruptive impact on many sectors, it also provides remarkable possibilities for progress in healthcare," said Dr. Ehab Shanti, Founder of Cambridge Forum. "Our 2026 programme brings together some of the most influential voices working across medicine, technology and policy. Cambridge Forum 2026 facilitates conversations and knowledge exchange and will help equip attendees with insights to prepare for the future of healthcare.”
