About the book
Everyone has an opinion about how AI is changing the world. Very often, however, the discussion focuses on technological possibilities. But what about the human side? How will we ensure that AI is there for everyone, and not just for the happy few?
In this book, Tom Braekeleirs describes a framework for acceptable AI. What are the keys to reaching the point of trusting AI as a technology that helps us? Starting from the context of healthcare - one of the most regulated and human sectors there is - he examines the seven dimensions of acceptable AI.
 
What others are saying...
"In his brilliant and entertaining way, Tom provides much-needed guidance to strengthen our trust in and collaboration with AI – not as an end in itself, but as a powerful tool in a world that has changed irrevocably."
~ Erik Janssen – VP Global Digital Care Transformation UCB
 
"The book Acceptable AI reminds us: trust in technology only arises when we understand it, limit it and make it subservient to humans."
~ Mieke De Ketelaere – Adj. Professor AI Vlerick Business School
 
"AI can strengthen healthcare, not replace it. This book is a plea for technology that supports healthcare providers, keeps patients first and challenges policymakers to write the right rules of the game — for healthcare, with healthcare."
~ Piet Hoebeke – Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Ghent University
 
"This book explores the contours of the new relationship between man and machine. Not with the intention of giving conclusive answers, but to ask the right questions."
~ Peter Hinssen – Tech Entrepreneur
