DESCRIPTION:AI and Ethics in Healthcare: From Innovation to Responsible Implementation \nDate: Thursday\, December 10\, 2026 \nTime: 5:30pm – 7:00pm (EST) \nLocation: Virtual \nArtificial intelligence is rapidly changing how healthcare organizations approach clinical care\, education\, research\, operations\, and decision-making.

Participants will examine where bias and risk can enter the AI lifecycle\, how organizations can establish meaningful oversight\, how clinicians and leaders should evaluate AI-generated information\, and how diverse perspectives can help shape more equitable solutions. \nRather than viewing responsible AI solely as a technology or compliance issue\, the conversation will focus on the shared responsibility of healthcare leaders\, clinicians\, researchers\, technology partners\, and communities to ensure AI improves care without reinforcing existing disparities. \n \nModerator:  \nTamiko Eto\, MA\, CIP \nIndependent AI governance consultant \n  \n \nPanelist #1:  \nProfessor Phillip Olla\, PhD \nTenured professor and Executive Director of the Center for Augmenting Intelligence \nUniversity of Detroit Mercy \n  \n \nPanelist #2:  \nDr. Val Alexandre Torres\, MD\, MBA\, FIADFE \nHealthcare and AI executive\, Co-CEO and Head of AI & Emerging Technologies \nFOCUS International Global \n  \n \nPanelist #3:  \nJoshua Winowiecki \nDNP\, APRN\, ACCNS-AG\, CCRN\, CNE \nClinical Nurse Specialist\, Assistant Professor \nMichigan State University’s College of Nursing \nProgram Agenda: \n5:30 – 5:40 – Welcome\, Thanks\, & Speaker Introductions \n5:40 – 6:05 – Panel Case presentations \n6:20 – 6:45 – Guided Discussion with Panel and Audience Q&A \n6:55 – 7:00 – Closing Statements \n*This program is awarded 1.5 hour of ACHE Virtual Interactive Education credits. \nRegistration for this event is a 2-step process.
