Session synopsis: 



Day One at ADEE 2024 focuses on how we as academics can influence, manage and encourage ethical use of AI in the academic setting.

Artificial intelligence (AI) seems to be constantly in the news. AI technology is fundamentally transforming our lives, and healthcare is at the center of this revolution.  People advocate that AI can be faster or better than humans, and might make the dream of truly personalised medicine a reality.  But to what extent are such claims valid and substantiated?  What has AI really achieved? Can AI be really better than humans? Or how can humans collaborate with AI in order to get the best of both? We need not only think about AI model performance , but first think if the task at hand can be better solved with AI. As such, Maarten de Vos will clarify the potential of AI from a developer’s point of view, and aim to point to where there is added value from the healthcare professional's perspective.

We are delighted to welcome Maarten de Vos (KU Leuven) to share with us their view points on the future we face in this new AI assisted world.
