Chair Prof. Zhang Kang, the Vice Dean of Faculty of Medicine, was invited to deliver a keynote speech on the theme of "Convergence of New Tools, Big Data and AI in Medicine and Biology", presenting that AI and its applications have recently experienced explosive growth across many industries, and the healthcare industry is no exception. With the accumulation of electronic health data, scientists were able to employ AI to mimic the diagnostic abilities of physicians across many medical specialties. Increasingly studies show that AI technologies can perform a wide array of functions, such as integration of immense clinical and high throughput biological data, aiding in diagnosis generation and therapy selection, multi-task learning on disease diagnoses, therapy and outcome predictions, making risk predictions and stratifying disease, reducing medical errors, and improving productivity. The eventual goal is that AI enables a much better healthcare delivery and biomedical research.
