We are delighted that Prof emeritus Arvid Lundervold has agreed to give the opening keynote talk at the Joint CEDAS-NORBIS Summer School 2023.
Title: AI and predictive modelling y ≈ f(X,θ) in medicine and biology
Abstract: This talk aims to inspire and motivate participants, offering a blend of neuroscience, AI, and predictive modelling, demonstrating the power of interdisciplinary thinking in biomedicine. We will discuss the exciting intersection of AI and predictive modelling, and its transformative potential in medicine and biology. We will make use of the predictive modelling framework “y ≈ f(X,θ)” and also draw parallels between the nature of generative AI and biological processes, including how the brain seems to implement language, learning, and memory.
We’ll look at some real-world examples, showcasing how these technologies can revolutionize healthcare and biological research. From predicting disease progression to personalizing treatments, these tools are becoming integral in our quest to understand and improve life and health.
The talk will also address ethical and technological challenges, emphasizing the importance of data privacy, algorithmic transparency, and infrastructure. We will conclude with a forward-looking discussion, highlighting emerging trends and the potential role of early-stage researchers in shaping this exciting field.
