April 30, 2025 7:00 PM Eastern Time

Moderators:

Melina Windon, MD – University of Kentucky, Dept. Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery, Assistant Professor

Andrés Bur, MD – University of Kansas, Dept. Otolaryngology—Head and Neck Surgery, Associate Professor

Attendees will be provided a background on AI and its current uses in clinical care. We will then provide a discussion on the ethical considerations of AI models in various applications.

Learning Objectives:

1 – Assess the ethical challenges associated with integrating AI technologies in clinical decision-making and research within head and neck surgical oncology, focusing on patient autonomy, informed consent, and the potential for bias in AI algorithms.

2 – Identify guidelines and best practices for implementing AI tools in clinical settings to ensure patient safety, data privacy, and compliance with regulatory standards, while promoting equitable access to advanced head and neck oncologic care.

3 – Arrange an interactive discussion among expert panelists to share perspectives and develop a collective understanding of ethical responsibilities in the ongoing integration of AI in head and neck practice and research.
