My entire social media feed is filled with Europeans in America for the World Cup crashing out due to culture shock, and I must say it is very validating given the last 2.5 years of my life 😂

Cervical cancer deaths for vaccinated young women fall to zero in England: study www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic...
AI in health care... it's a big topic with all too many pitfalls.
We were fortunate to be joined by leading AI researcher @jessrmorley.bsky.social, in conversation with @theasrstein.bsky.social to round off the #RapidEvaluation conference.
Watch the conversation:

The HPV vaccine for cervical cancer has reduced the risk of dying from the disease before the age of 30 in England to almost zero, the first study of its kind showed Thursday.
7. AI must not be an excuse for handing over uncapped power and influence to private (often American) companies
8. AI must not be used to justify the lessening of hard-won privacy and autonomy protections of patient data
Timothy Caulfield
9. AI's power must be focused on where it can make the biggest difference to the health of the nation (especially to those furthest below an acceptable threshold) rather than just what is easily 'solvable' from a technical perspective
10. AI must not be seen as the solution to everything
5. AI's impacts must be considered in the round and not reduced to minor technical problems with technical solutions
6. AI must be built for and by those with a deep understanding of the complexity of healthcare and not just by those who understand the tech
1. AI must be designed for a specific purpose and not deployed for the sake of it
2. AI must be capable of delivering measurable improvements in specific outcomes (a bar it is often failing to meet)
3. AI must be treated as a systemic-level technology rather than a plug-and-play replacement for fragmented components
4. AI must be subject to the same rigorous evaluation that we would expect of any other technology and not treated with "AI exceptionalism"
On Monday the HSJ named me as the "arguably the single most influential voice on ethics and AI policy" on their list of top 50 influential people for NHS tech in 20216 www.hsj.co.uk/news/the-50-... is (a) very kind; (b) most likely untrue. BUT FWIW here are my current top 10 AI messages 🧵:
The @bmj.com asked for my opinion on the single patient record as the NHS modernisation bill heads into its second reading. So here is my opinion www.bmj.com/content/393/... That the NHS needs better information continuity is undeniable, but the programme is also at risk of repeating past mistakes
