O researcher, who is in Geneva (Switzerland), to understand how AI can help diagnose Alzheimer’s disease early, will be, on Thursday, at the Polytechnic Institute of Guarda (IPG), where he will participate in the lecture ‘The ChatGPT took society by storm in four months’.
Igor Matias has a master’s degree in Computer Engineering, having focused his thesis on the investigation and implementation of ‘Deep Learning’ techniques for the prediction of Atrial Fibrillation (the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia).
The researcher, who has been studying the impact of AI in some areas of health, argues that models programmed to perform specific tasks will be able to analyze large amounts of data, accelerating clinical diagnoses and making them more accurate.
“In addition to ethical issues, we will discuss the impact of advanced AI in the diagnosis of malignant tumors and some rare diseases. As we know, early diagnoses exponentially increase the chances of cure”, he said.
According to Igor Matias, “AI is already able to draw clinical diagnoses faster and more accurately than a doctor”.
“It is important to say that this technology does not yet have the capacity to replace a medical professional as a whole, but it can be more accurate in some clinical decisions, especially when it comes to analyzing large amounts of complex data, identifying patterns and making predictions”, he defended, quoted in a press release from the IPG.
The conference ‘ChatGPT took society by storm in four months’ will take place at 10:30 am, in the auditorium of the School of Technology and Management of the Polytechnic of Guarda.
The initiative is promoted by the Higher Schools of Health and Technology and Management of the IPG, in partnership with the Order of Technical Engineers (OET), who invited researcher Igor Matias to a conference on the future of AI in health and the challenges of ChatGPT .
In addition to the debate on the dangers and future implementations of advanced AI in health, the changes that ChatGTP brought to society and issues related to ethics and human rights will be addressed, said the source.
“It is with great satisfaction that we see OET partnering with IPG to carry out this conference”, said Joaquim Brigas, president of the Polytechnic of the highest city in the country.
The official recalled that the IPG is a higher education institution “with different research projects in the areas of health and technology, namely Medicinal Biotechnology and Computer Engineering”, which is why it is “the right partner for initiatives like this”.
In turn, Pedro Pinto, responsible for cybersecurity at IPG and president of the Regional College of Informatics Engineering of the Regional Section of the Center of OET, considered that the lecture “contributes to better understanding AI, a tool that marks the present and will transform the future, helping to better understand all its potential and applicability”.
