Kieran Zucker (University of Leeds) – Artificial Intelligence in Health: The promise and the problems with real world use

As artificial intelligence grows ever more prominent within public discourse, record levels of investment and political pressure been ploughed into applying these technologies in the healthcare space. Despite this, few AI innovations translate into the clinical setting or result in real-world patient benefit. In this talk Dr Zucker will provide an overview of the barriers to AI adoption within the UK healthcare system, offer practical advice to academics on how to maximise the impact of their work in health and describe some of the projects and opportunities that can support AI and data science researchers within the region.
