New year, new ep, on data sharing in primary care. Happy new year Twitterlings!
In the first episode of @EthicsUntangled released in 2025 Jim speaks with Jon Fistein, a doctor and academic looking at the ethics of health data talked about what can be done about the fact that there's too much guidance, it's too complex, & that it's not always consistent.

By the way, like increasing numbers of others, seemingly, Ethics Untangled can be found at 'the other place'. Same handle. We'll keep posting on here, though, at least for the time being....

@patstokes What is a cospiracy theory? Is there anything inherently wrong with conspiracy theories? What kinds of harms can be associated with conspiracy theoirising and how can we take proper account of those harms without losing the ability to spot actual conspiracies when they occur?

Great chat in today's episode with @patstokes about the ethics of conspiracy theories.
There's some interesting ethical questions about conspiracy theories, & in this episode of @EthicsUntangled Jim speaks to Patrick Stokes, an associate professor at Deakin University, who has turned his attention to these questions.

I was interested to to talk to someone who is at the sharp end of trying to address these issues. How do you test AI systems in a healthcare setting? What are you looking for? What kind of assurance can you provide to patients and the public? Listen, leave us a review, say hello!

Adam's job involves providing ethical assurance for technical systems which are used in the NHS, including those which employ artificial intelligence. It's well known that AI, as well as providing some really exciting benefits, raises some distinctive ethical issues...

@Batesmith It's interesting to consider how this outlook complicates the ethical framework under which lawyers operate, which traditionally balances duties to the client with duties to the court, and to the rule of law.

@Batesmith He's now working at the University of Leeds, and has been researching the values and motivations of international criminal lawyers. 'Cause lawyers' are lawyers who practice law primarily because of their moral, political or ideological commitments.

An extremely interesting conversation this episode, with a legal scholar (@Batesmith) who has a fascinating and varied work history which has prompted some deep reflection.
