AI for One Health and Planetary Health: Where Are We?
Friday November 8th 2024
At the BCS London Office
Ground Floor, 25 Copthall Avenue, London, EC2R 7BP
(near Moorgate underground)
Organised by BCS-SGAI
BCS-SGAI, the British Computer Society Specialist Group on Artificial Intelligence was founded in June 1980. Its mission is: "To foster achievement, capability and awareness in both business and research in Artificial Intelligence, and to promote the interests of the related community". It is one of Europe's longest established groups working to support the community of artificial intelligence developers and users and is the organiser of one of the longest running annual series of AI conferences in Europe: the AI-20xx series.
The 21st century brings major global challenges, including climate change and rapid population ageing, calling for transdisciplinary involvement of diverse sectors and stakeholders, including academics and students, companies and societal organisations. One Health considers human health, animal health, and our shared environment as parts of a deeply interconnected system. Our environment is changing and it is affecting our health. Planetary Health emphasises that everything is connected: "the quality of the air we breathe and of the water we drink, the quality and quantity of food we produce, our exposure to infectious diseases, and even the habitability of the places where we live".
Digitalisation is happening in both human and veterinary medicine. Human-AI collaboration can bring humans and AI together to gain more valuable insights than either could achieve alone. The event comprises a number of talks with speakers from the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA.gov.uk), Veterinary Health Innovation Engine (vHive), Small Animal Veterinary Surveillance Network (SAVSNET), National Health Service (NHS) England, and UK universities.
Low-code/no-code AI is on the rise with Large Language Models (LLMs) at its core, including multimodal LLMs that can produce content (text, image, video, or audio/speech) as output (generative AI). Come along to the hands-on tutorial if you are interested in content generation and content analysis of text, images and audio with open-source LLMs from Google, Facebook, Microsoft and OpenAI in just 3 lines of python code (low-code AI) and LLM prompting (no code AI). The exercises can be executed in 1 to 5 minutes using Google Colab (free of charge for basic use and without setup to use).
There will be Certificates of Attendance for those who register and attend the event.
We
hope that you will come and join us, and that you enjoy this new offering from the BCS SGAI.
