What technologies will be showcased at the AI for Good Global Summit 2024?

At the AI for Good Global Summit 2024, scheduled for May 30-31 in Geneva, Switzerland, several innovative technologies will be showcased that highlight the potential of AI in various sectors. Here are some key areas of focus:

Generative AI:

Innovations in generative AI will be presented, emphasizing its applications in creating content and solutions that can enhance various fields, including healthcare and education.

Robotics:

The summit will feature demonstrations of advanced robotics, including bio-inspired rescue robots and performance-boosting exoskeletons. These technologies aim to improve accessibility and assist individuals with disabilities, showcasing their potential in real-world applications.

Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMI):

A significant highlight will be the demonstrations of brain-machine interfaces, which allow for direct communication between the brain and external devices. This technology has promising implications for individuals with mobility challenges, enabling mind-controlled movement and communication.

Assistive Healthcare Technologies:

Technologies such as I.R.I.S and Bio Nobi Smart Lamps will be showcased, which are designed to support individuals with disabilities and the elderly, enhancing their independence and interaction with their environment.

Health Monitoring Solutions:

Innovations like Symbionics and NeuroStrip will demonstrate real-time health monitoring capabilities, providing proactive health management solutions that can improve patient outcomes.

AI for Accessibility:

The summit will also emphasize AI applications that enhance accessibility, ensuring that technological advancements benefit all individuals, regardless of their physical abilities.

From this list we can see a definite shift towards AI in medical and healthcare applications as companies and platforms race to be the first dependable provider of AI based healthcare.

To become reliable , AI's have to drastically improve their contextual understanding. I.e. their ability to take into consideration a patients entire medical history and ensure that there will be no conflicts of past treatment of existing ailments or conditions when a prescription or diagnosis is passed.

Currently I can see the folowing areas requiring massive improvement before being confidently adopted by patients:

Data Security and Privacy Concerns

Lack of Sufficient Data

Interoperability Issues

Regulatory Compliance

Ethical and Bias Concerns

Resistance to Adoption

Complexity of Healthcare Systems

What other areas would you say are too complex or humanly nuanced to be taken over by AI in the healthcare industry?

I hope you enjoyed that . . .
