About AI, spirituality, and healthcare in the Vertikála debate
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly penetrating various areas of our lives, from healthcare and science to spirituality. With its growing influence, questions arise about how we should approach this technology and how much we can truly trust it.
In the Vertikála debate on Český rozhlas Plus (hosted by Karolína Antlová), information scientist Michal Černý and AI healthcare model expert Vít Nováček explored these pressing issues. Both experts agree that trust in AI is a complex matter that deserves our attention.
Two Leading Experts in the Studio:
-
Vít Nováček (Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University): An expert in developing AI models for healthcare, Nováček discussed the potential and limitations of AI in medicine. How is AI transforming diagnosis and treatment? And why should we remain cautious in its use?
-
Michal Černý (Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University): An information scientist studying the relationship between AI and spirituality, Černý examined what AI means in the context of spiritual questions. How does this technology influence our ability to engage in dialogue with "the other"—in this case, AI?
