N. Forum on AI Applications in Medical and Pharmaceutical Systems

The health and pharmaceutical sectors provide immense opportunities for the deployment of AI systems. Many medical systems require reviews, screening, and further analysis of statistical data on patients, disease exposures, and associated human responses. Recognition of vulnerabilities and resistance to disease can be analyzed at both the individual and population levels. Where data is very copious, AI can be a very useful application tool for pattern recognition. Other areas of AI application in medicine include medical imaging and predictive analytics of genomic data. In the pharmaceutical industry, AI has high utility in drug discovery. Despite the rapid increase in AI deployment in the health sector, many practitioners and general observers have misgivings about the excessive use of technology in certain aspects of interaction between medical personnel and patients. This forum will enable the review and discussion of both sides of the argument, with possible considerations in health policy development.
