AI & Medical Humanities Reading Group

The AI & Medical Humanities research theme of the Institute for Medical Humanities invites you to participate in a monthly reading group, which will be a lively mix of scholarship in the area. Our readings will include “primary” papers that analyse medical AI models and applications, theoretical work and the opportunity to share works in progress.  

We plan to meet regularly online on the second Wednesday of the month, from 14:00 to 15:30.
