Scientist Lara Lloret is making waves in the scientific community by shifting her focus from particle physics and the search for the Higgs boson to the application of artificial intelligence in medicine. Over the past decade, AI has experienced a significant boom and is now being used as a tool to advance tailored treatments in healthcare.
Lloret, who has noticed a growing fear of AI among the public, decided to address this issue by co-authoring a book with researcher Miriam Cobo. The book, titled “Artificial Intelligence and Medicine,” explores the challenges and benefits of using AI in the field of health.
According to Lloret, the perception of AI as a sinister force with unlimited capabilities is misguided. She believes that AI has the potential to revolutionize healthcare and improve patient outcomes. By demystifying the technology and highlighting its practical applications, Lloret hopes to dispel the fear surrounding AI.
The book, published by CSIc/Cataract, offers a comprehensive look at how AI is transforming the healthcare industry and provides valuable insights for researchers and healthcare professionals alike.
Lloret and Cobo, both colleagues at the Institute of Physics of Cantabria (IFCA), are at the forefront of this technological revolution, and their work is paving the way for a more innovative and personalized approach to medicine. With artificial intelligence leading the way, the future of healthcare looks brighter than ever.
