Though we must be careful not to overhype the impact of AI on healthcare (especially at this stage), maybe it's not too much of a stretch to compare it to penicillin. I'm excited about the potential of Generative AI and LLMs to enhance patient engagement and education, to make it easier to assimilate the wealth of medical knowledge and evidence-based practices, and to increase efficiency through natural language documentation and medical records summarization. Every clinician dreams of being unburdened from administrative tasks that distract from the practice of medicine. Though Gen AI and LLMs have gotten most of the attention, other forms of AI will be equally impactful (and already exist in healthcare). Predictive AI will allow us to better anticipate problems before they become problems -- an ounce of prevention as the saying goes. We're just scratching the surface of the ability to analyze and synthesize data sets to improve outcomes and tailor treatments. As a Joint Replacement Surgeon, I'm most intrigued by Causal AI and its potential to deliver truly personalized healthcare. We all dream of a world of absolute risk reduction and patient-specific solutions. Using AI/ML to generate cause and effect maps will give us a priori insights into various treatment scenarios at a level not possible in the past. The mantra for tech companies (big and small) is that AI will not replace doctors. Instead, those who embrace technology will be more favorably positioned for the future than those who resist it. As we stand on the cusp of the AI revolution in healthcare, adherence to this mantra and collaboration between docs and techies will ensure that hype and promise become reality. #medicine #healthcare #healthtech #aiinhealthcare #llms #healthcaretechnology #HealthcareonLinkedIn #HTLH2023

Everywhere I look these days, people are talking about AI. From ChatGPT, to OpenAI, Google Bard, and countless other emerging AI-based tools, we seem to be on the edge of the age of artificial intelligence. Although I don’t tend to utilize AI, I have many friends and colleagues who regularly draft resumes, cover letters, and emails using AI tools. It’s becoming more and more a part of everyday life.   Naturally, many are fearful about what this technology will mean for all aspects of life in the future. And while there’s certainly reason to worry, not everyone has an ominous view of how AI will shape humanity. In the interview linked below from the Harvard Business Review video series "The New World of Work", Harvard Business School Professor Karim Lakhani–an expert on AI and machine learning–argues that those who embrace and leverage this new technology will thrive, and those who fail to harness its potential will be left behind. “You are already living in an AI age,” notes Lakhani, citing the ubiquity of algorithmic technology we already rely on from the likes of Netflix, Amazon, Grammarly, and many others. “Most companies will not have a choice but to adopt AI,” he says.   I mostly agree with his sentiment, with a notable caveat. If correctly used, AI technology certainly has the potential to bring about positive change across many industries, including healthcare, particularly a type of AI known as “generative artificial intelligence,” or in layman’s terms, specific AI that creates new content. The most common generative AI models used today are strictly text-based (ex: ChatGPT), however these algorithms are capable of much more, including search, image creation, and even synthetic data. The implications for healthcare could be staggering. Imagine having a patient’s medical history distilled into a quick, concise summary in mere seconds. Fed with the right data, generative AI could greatly enhance medical imaging, help identify and eliminate unneeded systemic waste, drastically speed up the development of life-altering medications, improve diagnostics, reduce paperwork, and streamline billing.   As it stands, the biggest obstacles to real, practical application of AI within healthcare include bias and misinformation. These hurdles will likely limit early use to non-clinical functions where there is less inherent risk. A cautious, sensible way forward.   AI adoption certainly seems inevitable though. As Dan Mendelson, CEO of Morgan Health noted in a recent article for Axios, “It’s the efficiency that is probably key," as to why AI will eventually get embraced by all.   What are your thoughts on the future of AI in the healthcare industry? https://lnkd.in/ghWRdb_z
