What Does It Mean to be Human?
As we watch the meteoric rise of artificial intelligence technology, we are confronted with increasingly complex moral dilemmas happening at home and abroad. Reflecting on these moral and technological revolutions forces us to reconsider what it means to be human on an individual and societal level. How can technology supplement human instinct or offer a new perspective? How do we compassionately acknowledge the humanity of healthcare staff and patients? What role should the human condition play within the greater environment? The 2024 ASBH Annual Conference invites the community to reconsider long-held notions and think critically about the nature of humanity within our shifting landscape as it addresses the central question: What does it mean to be human?
Copy
Inclusion of the ASBH logo or text referring to the Annual Conference or the conference theme in the submission is not required. Those items will be incorporated into the final overall design by the ASBH staff, using the winning design.
