The possibilities of artificial intelligence seem limitless. The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus Community met on February 18th and as Prime Minister Don Elliman said, “We considered whether we could simultaneously unlock AI promises and minimize potential dangers. That’s it. “
There were two driving forces for campus leadership over the conference: “Interaction with AI: Learning, Adaptation and Growth at Cu Anschutz.” Splitting AI and providing guidance on approved applications will help employees gain confidence in exploring and using AI tools.
Approximately 500 campus community members participated in the event online and in person at Education Auditorium 2 South.
Bill Quinn, a futurist and visionary strategist at Tata Consultancy Services, has announced his “rethinking the future.” With over 25 years of leadership experience, Quinn helps business leaders “connect dots” to “connect dots” and rethink and navigate the future.
“We are stubborn species. We don’t necessarily like change. And when it’s pushed onto us, we’re surprisingly versatile. We have the ability to adapt really well, but we also have the ability to do so. We need a framework to understand where the future is heading.”
– Bill Quinn, Futurist and Foresighted Strategist
With examples of cutting edge applications of AI, such as digital twin technology (providing virtual representations of the human mind, for example), and the ability to effectively interact with the deceased’s loved ones, he keeps people at pace. He emphasized that it is necessary. AI brings to the way we live and work.
“We said we are stubborn species. We don’t necessarily like change,” Quinn said. “We are also incredibly versatile when it’s being forced on us. We have the ability to adapt really well, but there’s a framework for understanding where the future is headed. It’s necessary.”
AI tools used on campus
Next, we catalogued AI tools available to our employees from Chief Information Officer and Deputy Prime Minister Christopher Smith and Deputy CIO and Deputy Prime Minister Michael G. Miller – both information strategy and services. Special reviews and security plans are required. They strongly encouraged employees to jump into university-approved AI applications and provide feedback on the user experience.
The Ethics of AI
And General internal medicine department in spoke about AI ethics, provided examples of ethics guidelines and principles, and highlighted the complexity of practicing AI ethics. The key themes in his presentation were transparency, choice and agency. He challenged participants to consider whether AI would release people to make their choices or link them to past choices and preferences. Finally, DecAmp warned that biased datasets lead to biased analysis and ultimately biased output and use.
AI in research
Jayashree Kalpathy-CramerPhD, Professor and Chief of the Department of Artificial Medical Information; Ophthalmologyand the Director of Health Information. Colorado Institute of Clinical and Translation Scienceshared how AI can be used in ophthalmological research and clinical care. She spoke about the “eyes.” This is an eye study through advanced imaging and AI technology, and it is important that, in many cases, systemic diseases may be detected early, even before symptoms become apparent. .
“The idea of Oculomics is that you can essentially take a photo behind someone’s eyes and get more information about that person. AI is a woman, whether they’re old or male. Whether you’re a smoker, you can tell us what your risk of heart disease is,” Kalpathy-Cramer said.
Yang JungaoPhD, assistant professor Biomedical Informaticspresents “Beyond Hype: Evaluating and Advances in AI for Clinical Workflows and Decision Support.” She discussed how large-scale language models (LLMs) are currently being used in clinical practice, but noted that AI struggles with long, complex patient history. GAO emphasized the importance of designing a good prompt, namely the instructions for AI models to generate specific outputs, but acknowledged the difficulty due to the trial and error nature of the refinement prompt. She also warned that prompts that good for humans do not always translate to good LLM prompts.
AI in health science education
Richabastos, the Digital Learning Director of the Digital Learning Office, moderated a panel discussion on the use of AI in health science education. Panelist Benjamin Crockett, Assistant Professor at DMD, MS CU Dental Medicine School; Dr. Heather Anderson, Associate Professor and Director of Evaluation and Results, and Sunny Linnoever, Pharmd, FCCP, Professor – both Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences;Dr. Ryan A. Peterson, MS, and Antonio R. Pola, Ph.D., both assistant professors. Faculty of Biostatistics and Information Sciences in Colorado School of Public Healthall shared examples of success in integrating AI into class assignments, simulation of patient interactions, comparison of answers to Microsoft Copilot CHATGPT prompts, and attempts to change the prompt to compare differences in responses. include.
