Bridging AI and Healthcare: An In-depth Conversation with Dr. Chenyang Lu
Manage episode 467898028 series 3607045
Today, we're joined by Dr. Chenyang Lu, a renowned computer scientist and the founding director of the AI for Health Institute here at WashU. Now, I've had the privilege of knowing Dr. Lu for years, and I can tell you firsthand that he is one of the most innovative thinkers when it comes to bridging the gap between AI and healthcare. In fact, as Dr. Lu describes the motivation behind the institute, I couldn't help but nod along - the idea of creating more of those cross-disciplinary relationships that 'span the park' between engineering and medicine is something I've been passionate about for a long time. Of course, as an AI optimist
myself, I know there are also valid concerns about trustworthiness and safety that we have to grapple with. I love how Dr. Lu has approached that challenge, always striving to make these powerful tools more grounded in science and evidence.
