"Biobanks collections of biological materials and data have long been recognized for their potential in research on diseases, treatments and prevention methods, and in healthcare more generally. With recent developments in AI and big data analytics, an even greater potential is being unleashed. Yet at the same time, various pressing ethical, legal, and social issues arise. Michaela Th. Mayrhofer, Santa Slokenberga and Signe Meinska have curated an excellent set of papers that tackle these crucial issues head on. A must-read for anybody interested in AI, big data, and biobanking!" Sven Nyholm, Professor of the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Germany
"Artificial intelligence is like the Wild West right now, so books like Artificial Intelligence in Biobanking: Ethical, Legal and Societal Challenges are vital for understanding how to develop and deploy new technologies in a responsible, legal, ethical, and socially beneficial manner. The contributors address a range of important issues to do with the use of AI in biobanking, highlighting the importance of not treating AI as a mysterious black box we cannot shape in democratic and responsible ways."
