### Artificial Intelligence &amp; Parkinson’s: Understanding the Promise &amp; Pitfalls

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly shaping how health care information is shared and used—including for people living with Parkinson’s and their care partners. But what exactly is AI, and how does it differ from augmented intelligence, which is designed to support (not replace) human judgment?  
   
In this Expert Briefing, our speaker will provide a clear, practical overview of AI’s role in the delivery of care for people with Parkinson’s. The session will explore how AI-enabled tools may influence communication, symptom tracking, and care personalization, and how individuals and care partners can engage with these tools responsibly.  
   
The presentation will also address key legal and ethical considerations—such as privacy, accuracy, and over-reliance on technology—while emphasizing the ongoing importance of human connection in care.

*The Foundation's* *Expert Briefing series offers access to expert perspectives on emerging topics and may include more advanced terminology and conceptual frameworks.*
