📚 What are you reading this #summer? If you’re interested in the #AI revolution in #medicine, consider exploring the role of AI chat models and their application in #healthcare settings. The AI Revolution in Medicine: GPT-4 and Beyond presents third-person narratives from 🩺 healthcare professionals—Doctors and Nurses—illustrating how AI can support everyday patient care as an expert companion. Coauthored by Peter Lee (President, Microsoft) and others, the book emphasizes that while AI can reduce administrative burdens and enhance research, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment, it also brings factual and ethical challenges. While maths, coding, and logic are essential for developing AI tools, #transversal skills like critical thinking and analysis are equally vital for a safety-first approach in clinical use. ❓ Key questions to consider: How can developers embed safety mechanisms into AI tools? And how can AI be shaped to reflect the needs and skillsets of healthcare professionals? #BRIGHTskillsProject #BeWell #Holidays #SkillsDevelopment
