Ethical and Regulatory Challenges of Artificial Intelligence

Tuesday, 26 May 2026, 2pm to 5pm

The Cube (Lecture Room), St Cross Building, St Cross Road, Oxford

OxSTAI event- Presentation on the ethical and regulatory challenges of artificial intelligence, with a particular focus on healthcare and medical applications.

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Join us for this Trinity Term, Oxford Network for Sustainable and Trustworthy AI in Health and Care (OxSTAI) event, on ethical and regulatory challenges of artificial intelligence.

Dominika Harasimiuk (University of Warsaw) and Tomasz Braun (Lazarski University) will present their recent monograph, Legal, Regulatory and Ethical Non-binary Choices of the AI Act (Routledge, 2025). The book offers a critical examination of the EU AI Act, situating it within broader questions about human agency, trust, risk, and the governance of rapidly evolving technologies.

In this talk, the authors, who are also currently examining the regulation of AI as a medical device as part of the EU REALM project,  will introduce the central arguments of the book and explore how key tensions in the Act—such as risk-based versus principle-based regulation, the role of soft law, and the challenges of ensuring accountability—play out in the context of AI use in healthcare. By drawing on examples from medical settings and their work on REALM, the session will speak to ongoing debates across law, philosophy, computer science, and clinical practice.

The event is jointly hosted by the Faculty of Law and the Oxford Network for Sustainable and Trustworthy AI in Health and Care (OxSTAI), and is intended for a broad interdisciplinary audience, including legal scholars and students, as well as researchers and practitioners working on AI in health.
