Galien Forum, the prestigious event organised by the Galien Foundation was held on November 19, 2024 in Warsaw, Poland.
The Forum hosted outstanding representatives of various sectors, including Nobel Prize winners, leading decision-makers and leaders of the pharmaceutical industry, to jointly discuss the most important health challenges and the latest achievements in medical research and treatment.
Leading International Futurist and bestselling Author Andrew Grill delivered the keynote address titled
“Solving the AI Puzzle for Healthcare”
From Artificial to Augmented Intelligence – the journey to solve some of healthcare’s most pressing issues is underway. How close are we to having an AI-powered physician who thinks like a human?
Artificial Intelligence is a frequent topic in medicine and medical research, but are we on the brink of a transformative breakthrough without fully realising it?
With the rapid advancements in Generative AI tools, the swift progress towards Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), and significant strides in Quantum Computing, we are poised for a revolutionary leap in healthcare.
Andrew introduced the audience to new concepts around AGI and Quantum Computing and how they will benefit healthcare professionals.
We have all the pieces of a complex puzzle, so how do we connect them to take the next big step in AI-driven healthcare?
Actionable Futurist Andrew Grill envisions a near future where Augmented Intelligence partners with physicians and medical researchers, guiding them to accurate diagnoses with unparalleled speed and precision.
This synergy between human expertise and AI’s capabilities will revolutionise medical practice, but we need to understand how to achieve it.
Data has become the cornerstone of AI systems, but how can we ensure it is in the right format and quality to train these advanced systems? With billions of people already using smart devices like watches and fitness trackers, there is a vast potential to harness this data to predict and prevent future pandemics.
In his keynote, Andrew transported the audience to a world where cures are discovered at the point of diagnosis, dramatically improving patient outcomes. But to achieve this, we need to understand how to best leverage AI, Data, AGI, and Quantum Computing in a way that works together.
Andrew challenged the audience to expand their thinking about what is currently possible and become more Digitally Curious about what lies just around the corner and how we can get there as an industry.
He offered insights into who must be involved and what new skills practitioners must develop to understand and adopt these new capabilities.
Andrew also explained how AGI possesses the ability to understand, learn, and apply knowledge in various contexts, mirroring the versatility and adaptability of the human mind, how it can reason, solve problems, and exhibit creativity and emotional intelligence, enabling it to perform any intellectual task that a human can.
