Explainability Is Not the Solution to Structural Challenges to AI in Medicine

Explainability is often treated as a necessary condition for ethical applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in Medicine. In this brief talk I survey some of the structural challenges facing the development and deployment of effective AI systems in health care to illustrate some of the limitations to explainability in addressing these challenges. This talk builds on prior work (London 2019, 2022) to illustrate how ambitions for AI in health care likely require significant changes to key aspects of health systems.

On the Inextricability of Explainability from Ethics: Explainable AI does not Ethical AI Make

Explainability is embedded into a plethora of legal, professional, and regulatory guidelines as it is often presumed that an ethical use of AI will require explainable algorithms. There is considerable controversy, however, as to whether post hoc explanations are computationally reliable, their value for decision-making, and the relational implications of their use in shared decision-making. This talk will explore the literature across these domains and argue that while post hoc explainability may be a reasonable technical goal, it should not be offered status as a moral standard by which AI use is judged to be ‘ethical.’

Speaker:

Kadija Ferryman, PhD
Assistant Professor
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

In this talk, Professor Ferryman will discuss the merits and challenges of conducting health equity reviews of artificial intelligence (AI) tools used in health and medicine. The talk will examine how interdisciplinary approaches from the social sciences, bioethics and humanities, and computational fields can be involved in the development of concepts, methods, frameworks, and guidelines for understanding and governing digital health tools.

Dr. Kadija Ferryman is a cultural anthropologist who studies the social, cultural, and ethical implications of health information technologies. Specifically, her research examines how genomics, digital medical records, artificial intelligence, and other technologies impact racial disparities in health. As a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Data & Society Research Institute in New York, she led the Fairness in Precision Medicine research study, which examines the potential for bias and discrimination in predictive precision medicine.

She earned a BA in Anthropology from Yale University, and a PhD in Anthropology from The New School for Social Research. Before completing her PhD, she was a policy researcher at the Urban Institute where she studied how housing and neighborhoods impact well-being, specifically the effects of public housing redevelopment on children, families, and older adults.

"A Double-Edged Sword”: Genetic Data Sharing and Implications for the Learning Health System

In contrast to the laborious and expensive process of generating genetic datasets de novo, academic genetic researchers are increasingly using large and inexpensive “secondary” research datasets held by government, consortia, and industry for their work. Choosing between different kinds of data providers is about more than just convenience, however, it can also have important implications for the kind of science advanced and to which communities it will generalize. This talk will explore the factors driving researchers to select certain datasets for their work as well as their experiences sharing to, as well as using, shared data resources. As researchers wait for the new National Institutes of Health’s “Policy for Data Management and Sharing” to go into effect in January 2023, this talk will explore who ultimately carries the burden of increasing data sharing requirements

"Social and Structural Considerations in Pragmatic Trial Research with People who use Drugs" (December 14, 2022 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/101969 101969-21803004@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, December 14, 2022 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine (CBSSM)

Situated within clinical practice, pragmatic trials aim to measure the effectiveness or feasibility of a treatment in the “real world.” However, in substance use treatment and research, the “real world” is characterized by contentious drug policies, politics, and public perceptions that vary by jurisdiction. While such contextual influences typically go unmeasured in clinical research, there are wide-ranging, place-based features that can shape participants’ clinical trial experiences and substance use outcomes. To understand how research processes are embedded in complex contexts, I conducted a nested qualitative study with 75 participants in a multi-site, pragmatic RCT testing models of care for opioid use disorder across five Canadian cities. In this presentation, I describe how localized differences related to place (e.g., study spaces), policy (e.g., insurance coverage) and healthcare contexts (e.g., treatment availability) structure participants’ trial enrollment, medication access, and medication adherence. These results highlight how fundamental differences in contextualized social dynamics, health policies, and local politics have implications for the comparative analysis of study data in multisite pragmatic trials and for the conduct of research with marginalized populations.

This talk will bring together perspectives from philosophy, anthropology, psychiatry, and psychology to demonstrate how cultural variations in the placement of the self-other boundary impact approaches to mental illness and the psychiatric patient-clinician relationship. Dr. Sajber will compare the clinical model of Western industrialized societies to the treatment of schizophrenia in Zanzibar, Tanzania, where the locus of control characteristic of sociocultural beliefs is in much more fortuitous alignment with the caregiving environment’s emotional temperature. She will provide philosophical analyses of cultural beliefs which place a person’s agency outside of the self (such as beliefs in super-human powers or dependence on community support) and explain why, when combined with communications carrying low emotional charge, these turn out to be less stigmatizing within the community, and create better treatment outcomes for schizophrenia in both clinical and community-based settings.

Indigenous people still constitute <1% of participants in precision and genomic medicine research despite endeavors to increase inclusivity. Past ethical issues related to Indigenous genomics have not been adequately reconciled and are now being repeated in the new era of Big Data. Concerns persist about the collectivization of Indigenous data into open-access databases that circumvent tribal research oversight, the underestimation of socioeconomic and cultural factors contributing to health disparities, and continued biocommercial exploitation of Indigenous biomarkers.

Dr. Tsosie will describe community-engaged research and describe paths forward that center Indigenous people as the agents of access for their own genomic and health data. The future of Indigenous genomics is not mere inclusion but through recognition of Indigenous genomic and data sovereignty.

CBSSM Seminar—Is a Holistic Definition of Health too Dangerous? (February 8, 2023 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/104472 104472-21809113@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 8, 2023 2:00pm

Organized By: Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine (CBSSM)

This presentation challenges the position that holistic definitions of health are too socially dangerous to use widely in biomedicine or public health practice. Holistic definitions of health, such as the World Health Organization’s definition of health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity,” have been criticized for a variety of reasons. My previous work has adopted and defended a variation on this definition. One key critique is that adopting such a definition creates social risks that are not introduced by narrower definitions of health. Critics argue that a broad holistic definition of health can serve as a grounding for healthism, the ideology that prioritizes health over all else and seeks to promote it through intrusive surveillance, oppressive moralistic judgments, and pervasive interventions into everyday life. For instance, wellness culture in the US has oppressively stigmatized people with fat bodies. I argue that the undesirable features of healthism are, unfortunately, equally compatible with narrower definition of health; this is illustrated in the debates over restrictive COVID-19 pandemic policies. I conclude by arguing that opposition to holistic definitions of health is also partly a misguided reaction to distrust in communities’ capacities to define and promote health/well-being in non-oppressive ways (e.g. concerns that communities will promote holistic sexual health/well-being in ways that are sexist or heterosexist).

The histories of bioethics are shaped by accounts of individuals and their relations. From relatedness and dependence through interconnection and interdependence, these accounts provide accounts of how our social, biological, technological, and informational relationships shape bioethical considerations of health, agency, and autonomy. Where do those histories direct us, in terms of bioethical responsibility?

Undervaccination in high income countries results from both deliberate vaccine refusal and access or logistical problems. These barriers are commonly thought to affect very different social groups. However, popular and political discourse emphasises the vaccine refusing parent as the policy target of new vaccine mandates. Discourses around the need for strict mandatory policies may or may not acknowledge disadvantaged populations facing access problems, and the policies themselves may or may not differentiate between underserved populations and those who deliberately refuse vaccines. This talk explores how these two distinct categories of under-vaccinated populations are treated within new mandatory childhood vaccination policies in Australia, Italy, France, and California, and why it matters.

Abstract: The “Great Resignation” following the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has not spared the health sector. Resultant staffing shortages have compromised patient safety. The pandemic simultaneously reinvigorated discussions of the clinician’s “duty to care”, a unique ethical and legal responsibility that requires clinicians to place the needs of patients above their own interests. If a strong duty to care exists, then quitting cannot be ethical; however, this also renders clinicians infinitely exploitable by institutions and, to a lesser degree, by patients. This project evaluated the history and ethical underpinnings of the duty to care in the literature, finding general agreement about the existence of a duty to care, but debate over its ethical justification and the limits of the risks a clinician must incur in pursuit of fulfilling the duty. Subsequently, thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with clinicians who quit their jobs during the pandemic demonstrated that clinicians balance multiple competing duties with the duty to care, including duties to the self, family, colleagues, and health trainees. Being unable to effectively fulfill a perceived duty to patients because of institutional or other constraints also contributed to clinicians’ decision to quit. Additionally, participants expected basic safety measures and fair compensation in return for their service. These findings indicate that clinicians accept a general duty to care, but do not believe that it universally trumps other moral duties. Additionally, reported institutional constraints on good patient care and clinicians’ expectations of basic protections suggest that a corresponding institutional duty to care exists. Future scholarship should articulate the upper and lower bounds of the duty to care, expand the definition of “risk” to clinicians to encompass psychological well-being and burnout and evaluate how institutions and the public can reasonably provide clinicians with the tools necessary to effectively serve patients.

One of the strongest drivers for Learning Health Systems in Europe right now is the urgency to strengthen health systems resilience through accelerated digital health transformation. This is a direct reaction to the struggles all of our health systems had during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Up to now digital health innovation has occurred in a rather piecemeal way, often through pilots that fail to scale up or be sustained. There is a real gap in the understanding of how digital health solutions, especially patient empowerment for disease self-management through smart technical solutions, can be appropriately targeted to the right patients, influence care pathways in an efficient and safe way, become culturally embraced by clinical teams and accountably adopted by healthcare provider organizations. There are several initiatives and opportunities in progress in Europe to accelerate the adoption of digital health technologies and to support the dissemination of good practices, which will be discussed during this talk.
In parallel, equally urgent, is the recognition that health data must be better used to support learning at scale, for example to be better prepared to gather intelligence rapidly as a lesson learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, and the need to accelerate research that can deliver innovative treatments, devices and algorithms. Many European countries have embarked upon establishing a national or regional health data infrastructure and ecosystem that enables the reuse of data for research. Most exciting of all, the European Commission has announced a multibillion program to establish a European Health Data Space (EHDS). An important success factor for this will be public trust, and therefore getting the governance model right for wide scale data reuse is critical. This talk will explain the approaches being taken across Europe to scale up the ability to analyze large volumes of health data, including its governance, and how the EHDS is anticipated to catalyze a step change in that scale of learning from health data.

Tracheostomy decisions for pediatric patients are often complex, high-stakes, and have serious implications for patients and families. Because of the nature of these decisions, a shared decision-making approach is recommended, to incorporate medical information and the patient’s/family’s values into decision-making. Parents facing these decisions must consider their child’s quality of life, as well as the impact on themselves and their other children. Despite the gravity of these clinical situations, little is known about how decision-making around pediatric tracheostomy occurs in practice. In this session, we will discuss the challenges of medical decision-making around pediatric tracheostomy identified by surveys of parents and staff, as well as interventions to improve shared decision-making in these contexts based on these findings.

CPR and the DNAR Order in Older Adults: Historical Development, Modern Outcomes, and Ethical Challenges (September 27, 2023 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/112456 112456-21828958@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, September 27, 2023 12:00pm

Developed in 1960, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was quickly and widely adopted by the medical profession as a critical life-saving procedure. Given that all end-stage disease processes ultimately result in cardiopulmonary arrest at the end of one’s life, however, CPR was sometimes applied in non-beneficial circumstances or even against patients’ wishes. Originally devised to protect patients from unwanted CPR, the DNAR order is now sometimes unilaterally applied against patients’ or surrogates’ wishes when CPR is felt to be medically non-beneficial. In this presentation, we will explore the historical background surrounding CPR and the DNAR order, examine recent data regarding CPR outcomes specific to older adults, and discuss some of the related ethical challenges, particularly pertaining to the unilateral DNAR order.
