About This Course
AI Ethics and Governance in Healthcare addresses the uniquely high stakes of using AI where lives are involved. You examine the ethical pillars specific to clinical AI — patient safety, fairness across populations, transparency, and the protection of sensitive health data — and why bias or opacity is far more consequential here than elsewhere. The course covers clinical validation, the regulatory landscape for medical AI (including FDA and EU frameworks), and the governance practices that keep deployed models accountable. You finish able to help ensure a healthcare AI system is safe, fair and compliant. A verified e-Certificate of competency and e-Marksheet from the Deep Science & Technology Consortium.
