Health practitioners have been called upon to be the guardians of ethics by ensuring that technology serves all patients equitably, democratising learning and care opportunities rather than exacerbating existing divides.
Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, the 12th Vice-Chancellor, University of Lagos, made the call on Thursday while delivering the 7th convocation lecture of the University of Medical Sciences, Ondo, titled; “Adapting to the AI-Driven Future of Medicine: Educating Equipping and Leading Nigeria’s Health Workforce for Emerging Clinical Realities.”
Ogundipe said the effective implementation of AI in Nigeria’s health sector means embedding it into the core enterprise infrastructure rather than treating it as a siloed initiative.
