December UC Health grand rounds explored data and artificial intelligence
On Dec. 5, 2023, University of California Health held a grand rounds panel discussion on the burgeoning world of artificial intelligence: “Data and intelligence across University of California Health: What’s real, what’s allowed, and what’s artificial?”
More than 400 people joined the discussion, with attendance from all six UC Health academic health centers and numerous health care and government entities from throughout California and the country. The conversation featured experts from across the UC Health ecosystem:
- Atul Butte, M.D., Ph.D. (Chief Data Scientist, UC Health)
- Cora Han, J.D. (Chief Health Data Officer, UC Health)
- Sara Murray, M.D., MAS (Chief AI Officer, UCSF Health)
- Karandeep Singh, M.D., MMSc (Associate Chief Medical Information Officer of AI, Michigan Medicine; incoming Chief AI Officer, UC San Diego Health)
“We are in a transformative moment,” shared Han during the Grand Rounds discussion. “AI is not new. It has already had an impact on the health care delivery system, but now with generative AI there is a strong desire to develop and deploy tools. It’s very exciting, yet also raises risk across critical areas and those include bias and equity, transparency, accountability, privacy and security … and also ethical issues.”
