Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the management of multiple sclerosis (MS), particularly in shared decision-making (SDM) between patients and healthcare professionals. From early diagnosis and personalized treatment recommendations to improving doctor-patient communication, AI-driven tools are enhancing how MS is understood and treated.

In this interview, I speak with Dr. Stefan Ebener, an AI healthcare expert at Google, about the current and future role of AI in MS care. How can AI simplify complex medical data? What are its limitations? And how can it support MS patients in making informed treatment choices?

Together, we explore the transformative potential of AI in MS care and the importance of balancing technological advancements with human expertise.

Introduction – Who is Dr. Stefan Ebener?

Dr. Stefan Ebener: My name is Dr. Stefan Ebener, and I lead an international team of experts at Google. Our goal is to help customers implement cutting-edge technologies for real-world applications, including AI solutions in healthcare.

What advice would you give MS patients who are curious about using AI tools to manage their condition?

Dr. Stefan Ebener: Be curious, but stay cautious. AI can be an excellent support tool, but always verify information and consult healthcare professionals before making medical decisions.

Nele von Horsten: Stefan, thank you for your insights! AI has incredible potential, but as you've mentioned, it must be used wisely.

Dr. Stefan Ebener: Thank you, Nele! It was a pleasure discussing AI's role in MS care. Looking forward to seeing how AI continues to evolve in this space.
