ai@cam are hosting an upcoming Cambridge Festival event: AI and the Future of Public Health
AI is rapidly reshaping healthcare, but will these benefits reach everyone?
Join ai@cam for their Cambridge Festival panel discussion on how AI can be used responsibly to improve our lives and strengthen communities. From predicting disease outbreaks to streamlining care, AI holds great promise for public health, but could it exacerbate existing inequalities? How can local services and researchers work together to harness AI’s potential?
The distinguished panel includes:
- Dr Henrietta Hughes, Patient Safety Commissioner for England
- Prof Alastair Denniston, Chair of the UK’s National Commission into the Regulation of AI in Healthcare
- Prof Neil Lawrence, Chair of ai@cam and DeepMind Professor of Machine Learning at the University of Cambridge
- Melanie Ivarsson OBE, CEO of the Health Data Research Service
- Dr Rozelle Kane, Clinical Lead for Digital Innovation, Cambridgeshire & Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust
Together, they'll explore the practical challenges and opportunities of using AI to create healthier communities for all.
Booking is required. Doors open at 5.30 pm
