Moving Beyond Stigma: Understanding Cerebral Palsy and AI

Description:

Cerebral palsy, a group of neurological disorders that can cause physical disabilities, is highly stigmatized. As experts converge neuroscience and artificial intelligence, is cerebral palsy something that should be cured by scientists within our lifetime? Do patients with cerebral palsy need to be “fixed"?

Hear from "Breaking Bad" actor RJ Mitte about living with cerebral palsy and listen to experts discuss ethical considerations as they explore the possibilities of using AI for early detection, allowing physicians to provide treatment options earlier.
