About

Stacy M. Carter is a leading health sociologist and bioethicist whose research critically examines the social, ethical, and policy dimensions of emerging health technologies. Her work is particularly influential in understanding stakeholder attitudes toward artificial intelligence in clinical practice. Her landmark 2021 paper, "Exploring stakeholder attitudes towards AI in clinical practice," has garnered 179 citations and provides foundational evidence that the successful integration of AI in healthcare depends not only on technical performance but on the diverse perspectives of clinicians, consumers, and managers. Carter’s research reveals how values, trust, and professional autonomy shape acceptance of AI, offering crucial guidance for developers and policymakers. Beyond this, she has made significant contributions to qualitative research methodology and the ethics of public health genomics. As a professor at the University of Wollongong, she leads the Australian Centre for Health Engagement, Evidence and Values (ACHEEV), where she champions community-engaged research. Her work is essential reading for anyone interested in the responsible implementation of AI in medicine and the human factors that determine its success.
