Her talk is the perfect blend for anyone curious about how technology is reshaping our approach to health and wellbeing. So, buckle up for an enlightening, and downright cool journey into the future of healthcare. You'll walk away with your mind buzzing with possibilities and maybe, just maybe, a renewed faith in how technology can help us lead healthier, happier lives.

The digitisation of tissue samples opens up new avenues for AI-based image analysis. AI algorithms have shown great potential to capture complex morphologies and predict clinically relevant outcomes, freeing pathologists from the time-consuming inspection of glass slides under a microscope. Digital pathology and AI enable efficient workflow and better clinical practice, as well as informing biomedical research and improve our understanding of disease trajectories. This talk introduces how to develop AI algorithms tailored for histopathology (the diagnosis and study of diseases of the tissues) and offers future perspectives on AI and digital pathology.

Since the term ‘AI’ was introduced in the 1950s, it has been used to describe three entirely different schools of thought about the nature of machine intelligence. Why is this? This talk introduces the forgotten forces behind the origins of ‘AI.' These complex histories provide rich evidence with which to calibrate speculation about AI and AI Ethics in the decades ahead. Dr Penn introduces one overlooked trend around non-use.

Dr Jonnie Penn, FRSA, is an Associate Teaching Professor of AI Ethics and Society at the University of Cambridge. He is a historian of technology, a #1 New York Times bestselling author, and public speaker. Penn serves as a Faculty Affiliate at the Berkman Klein Center at Harvard University, a Research Fellow and Teaching Associate at the Department of History and Philosophy of Science, a Research Fellow at St. Edmund’s College and as an Associate Fellow at the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence. He was formerly a MIT Media Lab Assembly Fellow, Google Technology Policy Fellow, Fellow of the British National Academy of Writing and popular broadcaster.
