Mission & Vision

In an era where artificial intelligence is reshaping healthcare, ISMAI ensures that its integration remains ethical, patient-centred, and aligned with the principles of safety and justice.

Founded by healthcare professionals committed to integrity and human welfare, ISMAI is not a networking organisation but a professional society dedicated to safeguarding the balance between innovation and responsibility.

ISMAI maintains that the introduction of AI in healthcare is not only a technological development but also a moral responsibility. Each algorithm and each decision must respect the sanctity of human life, with safety and trust as the guiding priorities. Ethical oversight of AI cannot be left to external interests. It must be carried out by those who understand the implications of clinical care and who are guided by the obligation to protect patients.

ISMAI envisions a future in which AI supports and strengthens the role of healthcare professionals. It should function as a tool of empowerment, subject to the highest ethical and clinical standards. This vision extends across borders, calling for an international framework of regulation that promotes trust, transparency, and fairness in the design and application of AI.

Through collaboration across medicine, technology, and governance, ISMAI creates a platform for dialogue and progress. It brings together healthcare professionals, researchers, developers, and policymakers to ensure that AI in healthcare is advanced responsibly and consistently with the needs of patients.

The mission of ISMAI is realised through action. The society develops standards, provides education, supports research, and engages with stakeholders to ensure that AI is integrated into healthcare in a safe and accountable way. All initiatives are shaped by a single principle: AI, when ethically governed, can enhance human health and wellbeing.

ISMAI is a professional society defined by shared purpose. It is sustained by those who recognise the complexities of clinical practice and the opportunities of technological progress. Together, the society and its members guide the integration of AI in medicine so that progress is achieved responsibly and for the benefit of all.
