"Machine Learning for Healthcare Applications"
Machine learning has shown tremendous promise across a broad range of domains. The healthcare environment is becoming increasingly ready to embrace these solutions, which have the potential to lower healthcare costs, identify more effective treatments, and facilitate prevention and early detection of diseases. However, the development of machine learning solutions for healthcare requires paying close attention to the ecosystem as well as the clinical workflow.In this talk, I will share recent advances in machine learning, computer vision, and natural language processing that are driving innovation in medicine, including some example solutions.

"AI - Global Trends and Opportunities"
Traditionally, economic activity has been grouped into three buckets—production, transactions, and interactions—and technology had made significant inroads into each. Machines and factory technologies transformed production by augmenting and automating human labor during the Industrial Revolution more than 100 years ago, and evolved technologies have further amped up efficiencies on the manufacturing floor. Transactions have undergone many technological iterations over approximately the same time frame, including most recently digitization and, frequently, automation. Until recently, interactions, such as customer service, has experienced the least mature technological interventions. Generative AI is set to change that by undertaking interactions in a way that approximates human behavior closely and, in some cases, imperceptibly. That’s not to say these tools are intended to work without human input and intervention. In many cases, they are most powerful in combination with humans, augmenting their capabilities and enabling them to get work done faster and better. This creates enormous and transformational possibilities in all facets of economic activity in the near future.Biography
