Aurelia Sauerbrei

Aurelia Sauerbrei is a researcher at the Ethox Centre, working on the Adversarial Cooperation thematic programme of the ANTITHESES platform, which is led by Professor Michael Parker and Professor Patricia Kingori. Her work focuses on addressing pressing challenges in contemporary medical science, practice, and policy, with a focus on radical value disagreements, polarisation, and informational uncertainty.

 Aurelia’s role in ANTITHESES builds on her doctoral research, which focused on the ethical challenges posed by artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, particularly the tension between efficiency and relational values such as empathy, trust, and shared decision-making. By analysing this tension, her work provides insights into integrating AI with the human elements of healthcare, emphasising the importance of ethical frameworks that reconcile efficiency with relational values rather than treating them as inherently conflicting.
