Summary
We are happy to be continuing our AI discussion further with another episode. While last episode lay a foundation on discussing the unique differences in the role and regulation of AI in both these countries, now we delve into some of the clinical challenges. What does AI and the future of surgery look like in underserved locations such as the battlefield or the rural communities. What does this mean for our future as surgeons…will we be replaced? And how should we address the integration of AI within our practices?
We are thrilled to have our trio of experts discussing this further. Dr. Nelson is a surgical oncologist working at the Brook Army Medical Center in San Antonio, he's very interested in expanding the role of AI within surgical education and beyond. Dr. Larson is a general surgery resident at the Mayo Clinic. She's currently in her research time and finishing up her master's degree in AI and studying the role of machine learning within surgical practice. Dr. Mukherjee is a surgeon scientist alongside an Honorary Consultant General & Major Trauma Surgeon in Liverpool, England. His current research bridges academia with industry and is aimed at transforming the treatment of critical illness through the development of next-generation therapies for pancreatitis-induced acute lung injury through the utilisation of cutting-edge AI driven drug discovery approaches.
