About the Keynote Presentation

Peter Lee presents "The AI Revolution in Medicine, Revisited"

About three years ago, while ChatGPT and, later, the GPT-4 AI models were still in secret development at OpenAI, a group of researchers at Microsoft Research started investigating the potential impact of this new technology on health care delivery and medical research. One result of this investigation was the publication of the book in early 2023, "The AI Revolution in Medicine: GPT-4 and Beyond," coauthored with Carey Goldberg and Isaac Kohane. But since the book was written while GPT-4 was still a secret to the world, it was largely a work of speculation. So now, with a bit more than two years of real-world observation and experience, what is actually happening, and what is likely to happen next in the world of health care? This talk will go into what we had predicted, what we got right, and what we missed, as a way to help us see a bit into the future.
