Can AI Chatbots Make End-of-Life Decisions?
Can an AI Chatbot version of you make an end-of-life decision if you cannot make it on your own?
This possibility was brought up to me on a previous episode with Eiman Abdelmoneim. I was so intrigued by the possibility that I sat down with Dr. Muhammad Aurangzeb Ahmad, Resident Fellow at the Harborview Medical Center (UW Medicine). He is also Affiliate Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at University of Washington Bothell and Affiliate Faculty member at Responsible AI Systems and Experiences, University of Washington.
One of his main focuses of research is LLMs and end of life. It was a fascinating conversation.
