This week, we are tackling a subject which has developed so rapidly over the last few years that almost every sector has had to reckon with it in form or another. That subject is AI and large language models.
To help shed light on what it means for public health, William is joined by Christina Pagel, professor of operational research at University College London, and Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
They cover the risks and rewards of the technology, the effects it will likely have on the workforce, and whether governments are prepared to manage and regulate a technology that has the potential to be so transformative – for better or worse.
