Medical Device Software Implementing AI: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of the New Wild Wild West
AI is revolutionising the way we diagnose, monitor, and treat illness — but with great power comes great (regulatory) responsibility. In this dynamic talk, Dr Jeni Wellington explores the frontier of medical device software using AI, framing it as a new digital Wild West. She will demystify key concepts for a wide audience, using vivid analogies (think: the dawn of email) to ensure accessibility for all.
Through real-world examples and frontline regulatory insight, Jeni unpacks:
· The Good – when AI works: life-saving speed, precision, and reach.
· The Bad – where it fails: bias, black-box decisions, and poor explainability.
· The Ugly – security breaches, data misuse, and the gap in trust.
She’ll also walk the audience through:
· Why health data is more valuable than financial data
· How the Essential Eight cybersecurity strategies protect our systems
· The TGA’s evolving role in AI regulation
· Four take-home messages every clinician should remember when facing the AI frontier
