Human Intelligence & Artificial Intelligence in Medicine: A day with the Stanford Presence Center Speaking of Medicine

Last week, PLOS Medicine and PLOS ONE editors Linda Nevin and Meghan Byrne attended Human Intelligence & Artificial Intelligence (HIAI) in Medicine, a Stanford Presence Center symposium. HIAI brought together thought leaders in medicine, computer science and policy to envisage an inclusive, equitable and humane experience in medicine with AI solutions. A few highlights from the symposium are described here. "Supervised learning is the ultimate example of'garbage in, garbage out'," computer scientist and former Stanford President John L. Hennessy told the audience in his opening remarks at last Tuesday's Human Intelligence & Artificial Intelligence (HIAI) in Medicine Symposium, hosted by the Stanford Presence Center. Dr. Hennessy was honored at the symposium for his recent Turing Award, but his talk stayed true to the Presence mission--championing human intelligence in medicine as artificial intelligence (AI)'s role in the clinic grows.
