Title: 

Artificial peril or transformation? The potential of machine learning in medicine.

Synopsis:
This presentation highlights how AI and ML could enhance productivity, accuracy and delivery of healthcare, drug discovery and medical research, illustrating recent developments by reference to startups and selected papers. Developers, clinicians and organisations can underestimate regulatory, ethical and commercialisation challenges, the risks of malfunction, limited generalisation, and resulting harm. We explore these through case studies and provide an overview of important processes.
