Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare.
The Future of Our Brains: Are We Losing Our Minds?

A truly "enhanced" medical field will be shaped as much by a return to the humanities as by new technologies.

Beyond the divide

For more than twenty years, a neurotechnological shift linked to digital and algorithmic environments has been shaping our behavior. A profound transformation of our society is underway.

Should we fear an inevitable brain-machine hybrid?

Frontline doctors

AI has established itself as a valuable tool for identifying, guiding, and monitoring patients, as well as for synthesizing information and making diagnoses in complex cases. It also helps doctors save time, but how can we mitigate the risk of dehumanization in patient care?

Is AI, which currently serves as a support tool, on the verge of becoming dominant? Is there an alternative vision in which virtual agents and therapists work in tandem?

To train practitioners to use these powerful systems without becoming dependent on them

Assessing the biological and cognitive impact of AI will provide a better understanding of the public health and educational challenges it poses.

The use of AI, which has become second nature to most students, presents both benefits and real risks (erosion of critical thinking skills, lack of personal engagement in learning, and fragmented attention).

There is a significant risk of confusing formal consistency with an understanding of the complexity of reality. To be able to make informed decisions, it is essential to learn to cultivate a reflective and critical approach. This requires overcoming cultural and organizational barriers in medical education.
