Is medicine ready for AI? Doctors, computer scientists, and policymakers are cautiously optimistic

The second annual MIT-MGB AI Cures Conference, hosted by the Abdul Latif Jameel Clinic for Machine Learning in Health (Jameel Clinic), witnessed a significant increase in attendance, drawing over 500 participants from diverse fields such as computer science, medicine, pharmaceuticals, and policy. The conference emphasized the potential of AI to create a more equitable healthcare system while highlighting that AI will complement, not replace, clinicians who integrate it into their practice. Collaborations between academia, government, and industry were deemed crucial for advancing AI in healthcare. While speakers expressed optimism about AI's role in medicine, they also acknowledged potential risks and the importance of safety in developing and implementing clinical AI tools.
