For our May webinar, join us for a chance to hear directly from one of the nation’s leading voices on the promise—and responsibility—of bringing AI into medicine. Thomas Maddox, MD, SM, is the lead author of the National Academy of Medicine’s newly released special publication, Generative Artificial Intelligence in Health and Medicine: Opportunities and Responsibilities for Transformative Innovation, and the companion piece published in the New England Journal of Medicine. He will explore insights from the report on how generative AI tools, like large language models, could transform clinical decision-making, improve administrative workflows, and enhance patient engagement.
But realizing this potential requires more than just technology. The publication emphasizes the importance of thoughtful, ethical, and equitable implementation, highlighting the need to carefully consider the risks alongside the benefits. It also calls for broad collaboration—among clinicians, patients, policymakers, ethicists, and researchers—to ensure that generative AI serves the public good and supports better health outcomes for all.
Don't forget to bring your questions for an engaging discussion with Dr. Maddox on what it will take to responsibly integrate generative AI into the future of medicine.
