Let’s talk AI, LLMs, and the future of research

How did we get where we are today with AI and machine learning? What are the ways Large Language Models (LLMs) can be applied to healthcare? And what about that suggested pause on advanced AI? We will explore those questions and much more in this episode with Dr. James Benoit, a postdoctoral researcher at the Women and Children's Health Research Institute (WCHRI) in Canada, where his research focuses on the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) and artificial intelligence to improve healthcare outcomes. He earned his Bachelor’s and Master’s from the University of British Columbia, where he studied Applied Ethics and Integrated Science; and he earned his PhD in Psychiatry at the University of Alberta. He has years of research experience, including time as a Research Fellow at Harvard Medical School. His current work involves leveraging large language models (LLMs), such as GPT-4, to develop tools for clinical decision-making and patient care.
