CSITM at IIMB to host panel discussion on global health gaps in the algorithmic age on 27 June 2025
Webinar to feature Information Systems faculty of Carnegie Mellon University, Princeton University, Vanderbilt University, and IIM Bangalore
9 June 2025, Bengaluru: As part of its initiative to promote the dissemination and application of knowledge for the benefit of academic and industry professionals, the Centre for Software and IT Management (CSITM) at IIM Bangalore will host a panel discussion on ‘Is AI the Doctor Now? Will It Shrink or Widen Global Health Gaps in the Algorithmic Age?’, on 27 June 2025, at 19:00 Hrs (IST).
The webinar is set to feature Prof. Rema Padman, Trustees Professor of Management Science and Healthcare Informatics, H. John Heinz III College of Information Systems and Public Policy, Carnegie Mellon University; Prof. Rahul De’, Independent Consultant & Researcher; Retired Professor of Information Systems & Former Dean (Programmes), IIM Bangalore; Prof. Niraj K. Jha, Professor, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Princeton University; Prof. Vikram Tiwari, Professor of Anesthesiology, Biomedical Informatics, and Biostatistics, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine; Professor of Management, Owen Graduate School of Management, Vanderbilt University.
The one-hour webinar and subsequent Q&A session are valuable for both academics and professionals across diverse industries. To register for the event, please click HERE.
Abstract:
In the algorithmic age of medicine, a pressing question emerges: Is AI the doctor now? While artificial intelligence is increasingly integrated into healthcare systems—and has the potential to revolutionize diagnostics, treatment personalization, and public health messaging—it also raises urgent concerns about equity, sustainability, and reliability. Will the development of medical AI close healthcare gaps, or further widen global disparities? This webinar aims to explore these tensions and open a dialogue on the future of AI in medicine and its implications for global health.
Recent work in medical AI highlights the limitations of dominant top-down approaches, which rely on training extremely large multimodal language models with trillions of parameters. While these models perform well in many tasks, they often demand unsustainable energy resources and exhibit hallucinations in clinical settings. In contrast, new research supports bottom-up medical superintelligence—an approach that mimics the decentralized reasoning found in human societies. This includes ecosystems of interpretable AI assistants and self-managing agents based on counterfactual reasoning and enhanced with episodic memory, which have demonstrated improved accuracy and transparency in patient-specific decision-making.
Simultaneously, fine-tuned foundation models for specific medical modalities (e.g., text, signals, and images) have shown improved data efficiency, aligning with the World Health Organization’s revised guidelines for the responsible and ethical deployment of AI in healthcare.
The webinar will present a multidimensional vision of AI-enhanced healthcare, moving beyond monolithic AI systems toward collaborative, memory-rich agents embedded in real-world contexts. Topics will include AI’s impact on health literacy, digital therapeutics, and the augmentation (rather than replacement) of healthcare professionals. Participants will be invited to critically examine whether these innovations will narrow or widen global health disparities in the algorithmic age.

Centre for Public Policy to host XX International Conference on Public Policy & Management from 19 to 21 August
Conference is themed on ‘Rethinking State Capacity in Delivering Public Policy’
16 June, 2025, Bengaluru: The Centre for Public Policy (CPP) will host the XX International Conference on Public Policy & Management from 19 to 21 August 2025, at the institute campus. The theme for this year’s conference is ‘Rethinking State Capacity in Delivering Public Policy’.
The last date for complete paper submission was 15 June 2025, while announcement of acceptance results (for all categories of submissions) will be made on 30 June 2025. For more details, please visit: https://www.iimb.ac.in/cpp-xx-2025/
The organizing committee of this year’s CPP Conference on Public Policy & Management comprises Prof. Rajalaxmi Kamath, Chairperson, Internal Committee; Prof. Arnab Mukherji, Chairperson, Post Graduate Programme in Public Policy and Management (PGPPM); Prof. Allen P Ugargol; Prof. Rusha Das and Prof. Arpit Shah – all IIMB faculty from the Public Policy area.
The interdisciplinary conference draws scholars representing diverse perspectives on public policy issues and provides a forum for showcasing the latest developments in policy research and practice. The conference hosts pre-conference activities, academic sessions, topical policy debates, workshops, panel discussions and practitioner-oriented discussions on contemporary topics in public policy and management.
The conference is ideal for academicians, students, research scholars, policy practitioners, lawyers, NGO professionals and others with an interest in public policy. Although the selected papers are not published in any journal, the abstracts however, are put together as part of the conference report which is mostly limited to organizational reporting.
The theme: ‘Rethinking State Capacity in Delivering Public Policy’
The modern state is anchored by regulations, schemes, organization and broadly, public policy, whose effectiveness is driven by the state’s capacity to deliver on its intentions. Development of theories and frameworks around State Capacity is an ongoing academic exercise. Building on State Capacity as a theoretical construct forces one to think about implementation issues, ex-ante, and if the same could be tackled by innovative design. Evidence around the world speaking of such innovations in State Capacity would be one way of looking at it. Monitoring, evaluating and learning from existing schemes, missions and programs and their lessons towards understanding existing State Capacity, could be another. State Capacity’s role in fostering economic and social development cannot be understated, but equally, the challenges of Politics and Political Economy need to be factored in while enunciating it.
From frameworks for expanding primary healthcare systems towards universal health coverage to strengthening informal labour markets, addressing climate change, advancing agriculture and financial inclusion, exploring pathways to a just transition in the face of socio-environmental changes, the exploration of State Capacity spans a wide array of critical themes. This conference will include research papers and practitioner case studies tackling these issues, among others, building towards an ongoing corpus of literature in and around State Capacity in delivering Public Policy.

About the Conference
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become the next big landscape, which is evolving at an exponential pace. Its versatility has percolated into the domain of Human Resources, where AI-powered tools are increasingly assisting professionals. However, alongside the promise of this disruption, the needs of the employees are evolving, making it imperative to rethink sustainability in HRM and help them navigate the impact. The 6th HRIC aims to redirect the conversations toward disruption in the industry and explore how HRM can be reimagined to equip employees with the right skills and mindset to navigate the major changes dictated by these disruptions. Previous HRIC conferences have been conducted in China, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and South Africa.
