Sarah assembled a cross-functional team comprising data scientists, software engineers, and medical

9
00:00:49,460 --> 00:00:50,480
professionals.

10
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:57,770
The team began by exploring the origins and evolution of AI and ML to understand the foundational principles

11
00:00:57,770 --> 00:00:59,300
that would guide their work.

12
00:00:59,330 --> 00:01:05,390
They studied the contributions of pioneers like Alan Turing and John McCarthy, whose early work laid

13
00:01:05,390 --> 00:01:10,910
the groundwork for AI, and Arthur Samuel, who introduced the concept of machine learning through his

14
00:01:10,910 --> 00:01:13,040
research on self-learning algorithms.

15
00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:21,590
One of the first challenges the team faced was deciding whether to use supervised or unsupervised learning

16
00:01:21,620 --> 00:01:23,270
techniques for their models.

17
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:29,690
Supervised learning involves training a model on labeled data, while unsupervised learning deals with

18
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:30,950
unlabeled data.

19
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:37,430
Given their objective to diagnose diseases from medical images, which required known outcomes, the

20
00:01:37,430 --> 00:01:39,650
team opted for supervised learning.

21
00:01:39,770 --> 00:01:45,980
They began training their model on a vast dataset of medical images labeled with the presence or absence

22
00:01:45,980 --> 00:01:47,600
of specific diseases.

23
00:01:48,530 --> 00:01:54,140
However, this decision led to an important question how can the team ensure the labeled dataset is

24
00:01:54,140 --> 00:02:01,540
comprehensive and An unbiased bias in AI and ML models can result from biased training data, leading

25
00:02:01,570 --> 00:02:04,060
to inaccurate and unfair outcomes.

26
00:02:04,090 --> 00:02:09,850
To address this, the team implemented a rigorous data collection process that included a diverse set

27
00:02:09,850 --> 00:02:12,940
of medical images from various demographics and sources.

28

The team tackled this challenge by designing, reskilling and upskilling programs to help employees

63
00:04:56,580 --> 00:05:00,210
adapt to new roles that emerged from the AI integration.

64
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:07,050
For instance, radiologists were trained to work alongside AI tools, using their expertise to interpret

65
00:05:07,050 --> 00:05:09,690
and validate AI generated results.

66
00:05:10,170 --> 00:05:15,810
This approach led to a pertinent question what strategies can be employed to ensure a smooth transition

67
00:05:15,810 --> 00:05:18,630
