The possibilities of Artificial Intelligence Seem Endless, and the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus Community Gathered on Feb. 18 to consider How, as Chancellor Don Elliman Put It, “To unlock the Promise of Ai While at the same time minimizing the potential dangers of il.”
The momentum of the Leadership campus for the conference, “engaging with AI: learning, adapting and growing together in Cu Anschutz”, was double: demystify AI and provide advice on approved applications so that employees can have confidence to explore and use AI tools.
About 500 members of the campus community joined the online and in person event in the auditorium of Education 2 South.
Bill Quinn, a futuristic and strategist for prospective at Tata Consultancy Services, presented on “Reimagining the Future”. Quinn has more than 25 years of leadership experience and helps business leaders to “connect points” to reinvent and navigate in the future.
“We are an obstinate species. We do not necessarily like the change. We are also surprisingly versatile when it is imposed on us. We have the ability to adapt very well, but we need a framework to understand where the future could be directed. »»
– Bill Quinn, futuristic and pending strategist
With examples of AI cutting edge applications, such as twin digital technology (offering a virtual representation of a human heart, for example) and the ability to interact practically with deceased loved ones, he stressed that the people will have to keep up with the rhythm of changes changes will bring to the ways we live and work.
“I mentioned that we are an obstinate species. We do not necessarily like the change, ”said Quinn. “We are also surprisingly versatile when it is imposed on us. We have the ability to adapt very well, but we need a framework to understand where the future could be directed. »»
AI tools used on campus
Then, the Director of Information and Vice -Chancelier Christopher Smith and the Deputy IOC and Deputy Vice -Chancellor Michael G. Miller – both from the strategy and information services – cataloged the tools of IA Available for employees, as well as those who are not allowed for university work or this or this requires special examination and security planning. They strongly encouraged employees to dive into AI applications approved by the university and to provide comments on user experiences.
Ethics of AI
Matthew DecampMD, PHD, associate professor at Bioethics and Human Sciences Center General internal medicine division At Cu Medicine Schoolhas spoken of the ethics of AI, offering examples of directives and principles of ethics, and emphasizing the complexity of the practice of ethics in AI. The key themes of his presentation were transparency, choice and agency. He put the participants to wonder if AI releases people to make their own choices or bind them to their past choices and preferences. Finally, Decamp warned that biased data sets lead to biased analyzes and, ultimately, to biased outings and uses.
AI in research
Jayashree Kalpathy-CramerPHD, professor and head of the artificial medical intelligence division, Ophthalmologyand Director of Health IT at Colorado Clinical and Translation Instituteshared how she uses AI in her research in ophthalmology and clinical care. It spoke of “oculomics”, which is the study of the eye thanks to advanced imaging and AI technologies and has significant potential to detect systemic diseases early, often even before the symptoms are not apparent.
Yanjun GaoPHD, deputy professor of Biomedical ITPresented “Beyond the media threshing: assess and advance AI for clinical workflows and decision-making assistance”. It discussed how large language models (LLM) are currently used in clinical practice, but have noted that AI fights with history of long and complex patients. Gao highlighted the importance of designing good guests – or instructions so that AI models produce specific results – but recognized the difficulty due to the nature of the tests and the error of the refining prompts. In addition, she warned that a good invitation for a human is not always translated into a good prompt for an LLM.
In health science education
Lisha Bustos, director of digital learning at the digital learning office, animated a round table on the use of AI in the education of health sciences. Pandialists Benjamin Crocket, DMD, MS, assistant professor at Cu Dental Medicine School; Heather Anderson, PHD, Associate Professor and Director of Evaluation and Results, and Sunny Linnebur, Pharmd, FCCP, Professor – both in the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences; and Ryan A. Peterson, Phd, MS, and Antonio R. Porras, PhD, both assistant teachers in the Department of Biostatical and IT At Colorado School of Public HealthAll shared examples of success in the integration of AI in class assignments, in particular the simulation of patient interactions, comparison of responses to guests in chatgpt cat-copilot compared to Microsoft and the trial of Variations of prompts to compare the differences in responses.
Best posters of posters
The conference ended with the vice-chancellor for research Thomas FlaigMD, announcing the winners of the best poster competition for each of the three categories:
- Best poster for AI in Administration: “Improving professionalism in online learning: zoom label generated by AI” by Rachel Wagênster, MS, Director, Continuing Training Office and Professional development, skaggs school of pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences.
- Best poster for AI in health science education:
- Best poster for AI in search: “Generalizability of the segmentation of the in-depth learning of the trabecular compartment in the vertebral body of the mouse through the image resolutions of micro-chalped tomography” by Michael David and Douglas Adams, Department of Orthopedia, Som.
