CEBP Webinar 3 | AI in Medicine: Opportunities and Challenges
Most clinicians meet AI as a chatbot and stop there. This session widens the picture. It explores what AI in medicine really covers: from imaging and prediction to the large language models now entering everyday practice, and why a tool that performs well in a study can still fall short at the bedside. Drawing on perspectives from the ward, the classroom and the data science bench, it asks where the real opportunities and risks lie for clinicians and educators.
