AI in Healthcare – The Next Frontier

In an era where technology feels like science fiction, Artificial Intelligence (AI) stands at the forefront, enhancing our daily experiences. Could it also revolutionise biomedicine and healthcare? 

From refining MRI scans for quicker diagnoses to automating tedious tasks, reducing doctors' "Pajama Time," and designing the medicines of the future, AI emerges as a valuable ally. However... Can we trust AI? Is it necessary? Who is responsible when it makes mistakes? 

This talk will explore the latest advancements in AI within healthcare, including the super-resolution of MRI scans, the application of Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT, and their role in understanding the immune system. 

Finally, we will examine the field of protein design and its potential impact in understanding biology and drug discovery.
