CAMBRIDGE FESTIVAL: AI: Hype vs reality

Wednesday, 31 March 2021, 7.00pm to 8.00pm

A Cambridge Festival event

 

Data science and AI have the potential to transform the discovery and development of medicines. However, there is a lot of hype surrounding AI. The session will cover: what has been achieved to date? What is realistic to expect from data science and AI in the next 5 to 10 years? How can data science experts manage expectations? How can pharma and tech better collaborate to realise the potential of data science and AI in healthcare?

The interdisciplinary panel will be chaired by Gareth Mitchell, presenter from the BBC's Digital Planet.

Panellists include Dr Jim Weatherall (Vice President of Data Science & AI, R&D, AstraZeneca), Professor Mihaela van der Schaar (Director, Cambridge Centre for AI in Medicine), Anne Phelan (CSO, BenevolentAI) and Dr Junaid Bajwa (Chief Medical Scientist, Microsoft Research).
