Sometime ago, the world's most affable and recognizable AI leader, Andrew Ng launched a specialization called AI for medicine through his MOOC institution, deeplearning.ai. I have always been a big fan of Andrew Ng, and it was he who had introduced me to the world of machine learning through his grainy Youtube videos of Stanford lectures back in 2012. I was very excited that finally, Andrew Ng has finally turned his attention to the critical shortage of AI experts in the medical field . Truth be told, AI in the medical world has not seen as much progress as other domains like personalized advertisements, recommendations, autonomous driving etc. There are lot of complex issues like data privacy, small sample sizes etc. which I would prefer to discuss in depth in another post.

We've gathered experts in the AI and medicine field to share their career advice and what they're working on. Come celebrate the launch of our new AI For Medicine Specialization and hear from experts in the AI and medicine field. Agenda: PDT (*subject to change) MC: Ryan Keenan, Director of Content at deeplearning.ai Course 1 and 2 of the AI For Medicine Specialization will be available on Coursera on April 15. The third course will be available by the end of May.

AI is transforming the practice of medicine. It's helping doctors diagnose patients more accurately, make predictions about patients' future health, and recommend better treatments. To help make this transformation possible worldwide, you need to gain practical experience applying machine learning to concrete problems in medicine. We've gathered experts in the AI and medicine field to share their career advice and what they're working on. We'll also be celebrating the launch of our new AI For Medicine Specialization!
