Overview
Diagnosis is central to the practice of medicine, yet it raises questions that medicine alone cannot answer. What is a diagnosis? What and who is it for? How do we deal with uncertainty about diagnosis and responsibility for it? As artificial intelligence reshapes how diagnoses are reached and what clinical reasoning is, these questions have become increasingly urgent. This virtual workshop brings together philosophers, clinicians, and researchers to examine diagnosis in a series of talks, starting with core questions about what diagnosis is and should be and what technological developments mean for its future.
