AI is now the top risk to patient safety: what can organisations and patients do to protect themselves?

As AI adoption accelerates across health and care, concerns around safety, governance and accountability are rapidly moving from theory to frontline reality. From clinical decision support and generative AI to automation and ambient technologies, how can organisations harness the benefits of AI while protecting patients from unintended harm, bias, misinformation and unsafe implementation?
 
Bringing together experts in AI safety, clinical risk, patient safety and digital medicines, this panel will explore the practical steps NHS organisations, digital leaders and clinicians must take to ensure safe, ethical and transparent use of AI. The discussion will also consider the role of patients, regulation, assurance frameworks and organisational culture in building trust and maintaining safety in an increasingly AI-enabled NHS.
