🆕 Hotus- 5/2026: työkaluna, ei päätöksentekijänä: ihmiset näyttöön perustuvan terveydenhuollon ytimessä 📌

Mihin tietoon voimme luottaa❓
Mitä tekoälylle kannattaa antaa tehtäväksi ja mikä kuuluu edelleen ihmiselle❓

🔍 Tekoäly lisää tutkimusnäytön saatavuutta nopeammin kuin koskaan. M***a nopeus ei yksin takaa tiedon luotettavuutta.

🔍 Tekoäly voi tukea tutkimusnäytön etsimistä, jäsentämistä ja hyödyntämistä. Samalla korostuvat ammattilaisen kriittinen , ja .

Keskeinen kysymys ei ehkä olekaan, käytämmekö tekoälyä, vaan käytämme sitä vastuullisesti näyttöön perustuvan terveydenhuollon tukena❓

Kiitämme lämpimästi blogisteja Health Sciences - Oulu:n Saija Ylimäki ja Maria Kääriäinen sekä Hotuksesta Noora Puusa, Kristiina Heikkilä ja Heidi Parisod 💙

🎙️ This , we're delighted to share a special episode of the JBI Talking Evidence podcast, exploring Inclusive Science Communication and AI.

In this episode, Bianca Pilla, Director of Global Relations at JBI, founding member of World EBHC Day and Chair of its Steering Committee, joins Heather McCulloch, Communications Coordinator at JBI, Chair of the World EBHC Day Communications Committee and member of the Steering Committee, to explore this year's theme, Evidence and AI: People at the Centre, through the lens of science communication.

Together, Bianca and Heather discuss the opportunities and challenges AI presents for inclusive science communication, sharing three key takeaways for listeners.

One important takeaway? AI is a double-edged sword. When used responsibly, it can improve efficiency and accessibility. However, it can also generate false references and reinforce existing biases related to gender, race and disability.

🎧 Tune in to hear the full conversation and discover how we can keep people at the centre of evidence, AI and science communication.
