If it is Tuesday, it is time for Tuesday Topics.

College of Nursing and Health Professions hosts "Tuesday Topics," an informal, regularly designated space designed to connect faculty, students and staff and help grow the interprofessional community within the College. "Tuesday Topics" include sessions promoting CNHP's research initiatives, sharing scholarship on issues relevant to healthcare and providing guidance on best practices in research and education. "Tuesday Topics" are open to all faculty, students and staff in CNHP, as well as to our alumni and community partners. Not every session is for everyone, but if the topic appeals to you, please sign-up to join us.

"Tuesday Topics" are generally held Tuesdays throughout each 10-week quarter of the academic year. Participants can join in person or via live webcast.

Times may vary. Register to receive the specific zoom link and passcode.

Ethically Speaking: On Artificial Intelligence

Tuesday, May 27, 2025 • 4–5 p.m.
HSB 3W02 or via Zoom

This session will delve into some of the ethics scholarship on the development and implementation of AI technologies in health, research and health care. The focus will be on whether we need to expand ethical analysis beyond the scope of common bioethics principles to include considerations regarding potential impact on communities, the planet and future generations. Some alternative ethical approaches will be discussed (such as those by Loretta Ross and Melanie Smallman, respectively). We will discuss suggestions on how to design and apply AI technology in order to improve health while recognizing its entanglements with existing ethical issues.

As a part of our ongoing “Ethically Speaking” series, this session will support faculty, students and staff who must demonstrate continuing education in the ethical conduct of research with human subjects. According to the NIH: The responsible conduct of research (RCR) is essential to good science. RCR promotes the aims of scientific inquiry, fosters a research environment that enables scientists to work together toward common goals and promotes public confidence in scientific knowledge and progress for the public good. However, there are several serious detrimental effects of research not conducted ethically and responsibly. This RCR training is provided to our students, postdoctoral research fellows, research faculty and staff to ensure we are in continual conversation to develop and maintain a culture of scientific integrity.
