Health research often involves interventions and procedures that carry varying levels of risk to participants. Risk assessment is a critical component of ethical analysis prior to study approval and should be continuously monitored to ensure appropriate mitigation measures are implemented. Effective risk management is essential to protect participant well-being and safety. However, the diversity and volume of research projects across universities, hospitals, and large institutions make consistent implementation challenging. Emerging technologies such as AI offer promising opportunities to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of risk management in human research. This session will explore the potential benefits of these tools, as well as their limitations, emphasizing the importance of responsible and ethical adoption.
