Assistant Poslon at TU Darmstadt

During the research stay at HLRS in Stuttgart, assistant Poslon met prof. dr. Andreas Kaminski, Professor of Philosophy of Science and Technology at the Technical University of Darmstadt at the Philosophy Department, and founder of the Department for the Philosophy of Computational Science at HLRS at University of Stuttgart. The topic of discussion was epistemology and philosophy of trust in relation to explainable AI and the crucial role that trust plays in the context of AI applications in healthcare. Certain conceptual and practical challenges that arise when applying AI in healthcare can potentially be resolved by understanding trust as a unique phenomenon that unifies the normative and epistemic aspects of trust.

New approaches that explore the challenges of trust can help us better understand how trust evolves toward implementation of AI in healthcare. Since healthcare scenarios include significant degrees of risk demands in decision-making process regarding therapy, diagnosis, or illness prognosis, those approaches are particularly relevant for healthcare settings.

We are thankful to prof. dr. Kaminski for supervising work of assistant Poslon at the HLRS Stuttgart, where he is making contributions to the identification of important challenges associated with the use of AI in healthcare settings.

We also thank the Croatian Science Foundation and HLRS for their ongoing support.
