Queen’s Lecture 2024 by Professor Aldo Faisal: Human-AI Loops ‒ Data-driven pathways to the future of healthcare.
This year's Queen's Lecture took place on 13 November 2024 at 5 p.m. in TU Berlin's Audimax, Str. des 17. Juni 135, 10623 Berlin.
Patient-ready AI can dramatically improve patient outcomes and reduce the burden on the healthcare system. Professor Aldo Faisal’s goal is to develop science and innovation that can act as agents of change for present-day healthcare systems and help reduce the rapidly growing unmet demand for health and care.
AI for health cannot be solved using off-the-shelf AI techniques and requires us to fundamentally revisit the problem to develop patient-ready solutions. This leads to new convergence science bringing together foundations of artificial and human intelligence, medicine, and regulation.
Professor Aldo Faisal is going to illustrate his approach with examples from our current research ranging from accelerating personalised drug development, via our UK flagship AI Clinician programme, to national-scale digital health solutions, that are overcoming challenges from neurology and pediatrics to infectious diseases and public health.
The event will be held in English.
If you are not able to come along to the TU on the day, you can watch the live stream.
Professor Dr. Aldo Faisal is director of science & innovation at the Alan Turing Institute and responsible for the Health Grand Challenge. He is professor of AI & neuroscience at Imperial College London and director of the £50m “UKRI (UK Research and Innovation) Centre for Doctoral Training in AI for Healthcare”.
Professor Faisal holds a prestigious UKRI Turing AI Fellowship. He is one of the few computer scientists worldwide who leads clinical trials to take his work from algorithm to the bedside and has won numerous international research prizes and awards. He holds the Chair in Digital Health at the University of Bayreuth, Germany, and is an advocate for proactive adaptation of AI and healthcare regulation, working with regulators and international organisations. His work and contributions have been regularly featured in the global media.
Professor Faisal is an advocate for proactive adaptation of AI and healthcare regulation working with regulators and international organisations, he has been appointed by the German Federal Government to the German Ethics Council.
The Queen's Lectures series
The Queen’s Lectures were founded by Queen Elizabeth II as a gift to the City of Berlin on the occasion of her state visit in 1965. Since 1997 the Queen’s Lecture takes place at the TU Berlin. Each year a renowned British scientist delivers a lecture on her or his area of expertise. The Queen's Lecture is a collaboration between Technical University Berlin, the British Embassy in Germany, and the British Council Germany.
