Robert L Wolen Lecture in Bioethics 2025

Wednesday, November 12, 2025

Dr. Fleck accepts the award from Dr. Schwartz and Dr. Turchi 
The Indiana University Center for Bioethics and the Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Pharmacology invited Dr. Leonard Fleck of Michigan State University for the Robert L Wolen Lecture in Bioethics. Dr. Fleck presented, “Rough Justice, Wicked Problems: Using AI to Decide Who Gets Extremely Expensive Treatments,” in which he explored the “wicked problem” of using AI to allocate scarce healthcare resources, namely how emerging predictive and prognostic capacities of AI in the context of precision medicine will potentially undermine our capacity to do just priority-setting in health care and cost control.

If you missed the talk, it is available to watch, along with all of our other event recordings here.
