AI & Technology: Wellness Deep Dive

AI could propel the biggest transformation in the history of medicine, says physician-scientist Eric Topol. He explains how sophisticated AI models can interpret medical images as well or better than human experts can — and, beyond that, even pick up things that human eyes can't see. Learn all the ways AI is poised to make a difference for both patients and doctors.

Stanford Medicine advances human health through world-class biomedical research, education and patient care. Bringing together the resources of Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford Health Care and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, Stanford Medicine is committed to training future leaders in biomedicine and translating the latest discoveries into new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat disease.

AI and neurodiversity are a powerful duo, unlocking personalized solutions and breaking down barriers. By understanding how we think differently, we can create tech that empowers everyone, making the world more inclusive for all minds

The AI honeymoon is over, but its impact has barely begun. What happens when we no longer interact with AI on discrete tasks, but it's pervasive in our work? 

We’ll reach that reality faster than we did with the digital revolution. We’ll explore the ability and practices of AI-enabled individuals and teams to provide exponential value; 

This is the era of the billion-dollar team. We’ll show examples of how new team structures, workflows, and cultures are built, including several experiments within our own organization using AI to enhance employee productivity 10x and more on specific tasks.

As this technology continues to develop, challenges to our perception of what is real are immense, and our trust in what we are seeing is eroded. These fake people are already changing industries such as modelling and marketing, but can they offer a more diverse reflection of humanity than has historically been available - or are they destined to reflect the narrow standards of beauty these industries have long been drawn to?

Medicine has been at the forefront of recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), from image recognition to generative AI. Watch experts in AI and health as they discuss the hype, the hope, and what it might take for AI to improve patient outcomes.  T

his event explored challenges to the effective use of AI in health systems, whether these technologies can actually promote our health and wellbeing and how to ensure any advances benefit all of us.
