Medical ethicists and AI researchers caution that artificial‑intelligence surrogates, designed to aid patient‑centered decisions, must be treated as decision aids rather than replacements for human judgment. While such tools could integrate clinical data, patient values, and contextual information, concerns arise over fairness, bias, emotional manipulation, and the need for automatic ethics review. Researchers stress rigorous validation, transparent conversation, and safeguards before deploying AI surrogates in critical care scenarios. Leia mais →

The Cleveland Clinic is collaborating with San Francisco‑based startup Piramidal to develop an artificial‑intelligence model that continuously analyzes electroencephalogram (EEG) data from intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Built on a foundation model trained with nearly a million hours of EEG recordings, the system aims to flag neurological abnormalities in seconds, giving clinicians real‑time insight into brain health. After retrospective fine‑tuning, the partnership plans a controlled live‑patient trial within the next six to eight months, followed by a gradual rollout across ICU beds. The initiative also raises ethical questions about brain data use and storage. Leia mais →
