How do we intelligently use artificial intelligence? | EBPOM World Congress 2024

TopMedTalk

Evidence Based Perioperative Medicine (EBPOM)'s incredible World Congress in London continues and TopMedTalk is there bringing you exclusive interviews with delegates, guests and key opinion leaders.

Here we have a much needed discussion regarding regulating artificial intelligence (AI) at the point of care, and the need for proper regulatory frameworks to ensure its safe and effective use.

We stress the importance of clear policies and clinician training for AI implementation, highlighting the potential risks of misusing AI tools due to insufficient understanding of their outputs. How do we get transparency from AI manufacturers regarding the data sets used and the intended applications of their algorithms? Is there a need for independent verification bodies to assess the robustness of AI tools?

The conversation concludes with a call for collaboration among clinicians, manufacturers, and regulators to harness the power of AI in healthcare while safeguarding patient outcomes, underscoring the exciting yet challenging future of AI in medicine.
