We published “View from the Top” not long ago to capture the key challenges of academic leaders. https://lnkd.in/e-feym4A Two major long-term themes were identified: Climate Change and AI. The “Attitudes to AI” report which came out today is a timely response to address the role of AI for researchers and health professionals. Read the key conclusions below! The full report is worth a read for anyone interested in the impact of AI on science and health.

Explore how AI is helping to shape the future of research and healthcare!

Here are my top 5 takeaways from the "Insights 2024: Attitudes Toward AI" (hint - there are more - read it for yourself): High awareness, low usage: While 96% of respondents have heard of AI, only 54% have used it, and 31% have used it for work purposes. This highlights a significant gap between awareness and practical application. Positive attitudes towards AI: Despite some concerns, attitudes towards AI lean more positive than negative. Most respondents expect AI, including generative AI, to significantly impact their work, with 72% believing it will have a transformative or significant impact. Trust and comfort in AI tools: Trust in AI tools can be enhanced by ensuring accuracy, transparency, and safety. 58% of respondents indicated that training the AI model to be factually accurate, moral, and not harmful would significantly increase their trust. Concerns about misinformation and errors: There are substantial concerns regarding AI's potential to spread misinformation (94%) and cause critical errors (86%). These concerns underline the importance of developing robust, reliable AI systems. Future expectations and institutional actions: 67% of those not currently using AI expect to do so in the next two to five years. Institutions can support this transition by establishing clear policies, building governance structures, providing training, and ensuring access to AI tools. These insights highlight the opportunities and challenges in integrating AI into research and healthcare, emphasizing the need for careful implementation and support to bridge the gap between awareness and usage. As I shared in a recent doctoral class lecture, "It's up to us to make AI a gold standard for healthcare." Lastly, do not wait to be invited to the table. Get there come "hell or high water."
