KAU - University of Oxford Centre for AI in Precision Medicines Webinar
Tomorrow I'm speaking in a webinar hosted by the King Abdulaziz University - University of Oxford Centre For Artificial Intelligence in Precision Medicines (CAIPM). CAIPM is a leading global innovation center for developing precise therapies using AI and emerging technologies. The Center is a strategic partnership between King Abdulaziz University in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the University of Oxford. CAIPM provides a multidisciplinary hub for building research leadership with a high-impact and sustainable value to provide potential therapeutic solutions to patients around the world. The CAIPM was founded based on Saudi Vision 2030 to improve quality of life which includes promoting health and providing innovative treatment solutions for various intractable diseases for which there are no current treatments.
AI as a Force for Good
AI is everywhere: inside smartphones, on wearable devices, at hospitals and airports, and even in cars. The technology is shaking up economies, pushing companies to adapt and forcing governments to take a closer look at its implications. As AI becomes more ubiquitous, it is also polarizing public opinion, with fears over man's ability to control the technology, its long-term impact on labour markets and concerns over data collection and privacy. The late physicist and author Stephen Hawking warned that AI could be the "worst event in the history of our civilization." Similarly alarmist, Elon Musk, founder of electric car manufacturer Tesla described AI as more dangerous than nuclear weapons.
