About this Event

Medicine is entering a new era — one where artificial intelligence tools can interact directly with patients and outperform doctors on several clinical tasks. As AI capabilities and adoption advance with remarkable speed, we are running out of time to meaningfully influence how it is integrated into health care.

In his recently released book, Dr. Sian Tsuei offers a timely tour of real-world events and cutting-edge research on medical AI, highlighting both its successes and its failures. The book examines the many technical, legal, and ethical challenges involved, and argues that, if left unchecked, AI development and integration may ultimately drive physician replacement.

There will be an opportunity to win a copy of Dr. Tsuei's book. We will also have copies available for sale for $20. If you would like to purchase a book, please bring cash as we will not be equipped to process card payments. Dr. Tsuei has kindly agreed to sign books after his talk.
