When clinical judgment and AI predictions point in different directions, what happens next? This event will address instances where artificial intelligence and human clinical judgment do not agree, and why these moments of “human–AI dissonance” may become one of the most consequential frontiers in modern medicine. Through case-based perspectives from radiology, surgery, and nursing, the program explores how clinicians are responding to AI-driven recommendations in real clinical environments. Legal, regulatory, and ethical experts will also address emerging questions of documentation, liability, patient transparency, and shared decision-making. The conversation will look ahead to emerging tools such as digital twins and next-generation clinical infrastructures, exploring how disagreement, accountability, and trust may be intentionally designed into the future of AI-enabled care. This event is part of the Frontiers in Data Science and AI initiative at the Data Science Institute, Columbia University.
