The Human-AI Collaboration for Smarter Health Care

Think about : What if your textbook could debate with you? What if your study guide could rewrite itself based on your confusion? This is no longer a "what if"—it's the new landscape of learning, powered by Artificial Intelligence. The very foundations of how we acquire knowledge are being radically redesigned, moving us from passive consumption to active, symbiotic collaboration with intelligent systems.

 

In this thought-provoking keynote, I will challenge traditional learning paradigms and share my own experience of partnering with AI to master a new skill. I'll discuss the initial skepticism, the moment of awe when the AI anticipated my knowledge gaps, and the profound shift from memorizing information to cultivating true understanding.
