Trinity PHS presents: Artificial Intelligence in Public Health

The following caption was written by an AI chatbot:

Define AI
AI, or artificial intelligence, refers to the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that typically require human-like intelligence, such as perception, reasoning, learning, and problem-solving.

What do you think AI will be in the future?
In the future, AI will likely become even more advanced and integrated into our daily lives, with applications in areas such as healthcare, transportation, and communication. However, it's important to ensure that it's developed ethically and with consideration for its impact on society.

What are the pros and cons of AI in healthcare?
Pros: AI can improve diagnosis accuracy, drug discovery, and patient outcomes. Cons: Concerns over privacy, security, and potential biases in algorithms must be addressed. Additionally, AI cannot replace human empathy and understanding in healthcare.

Trinity Public Health Society, in collaboration with the Hist, is delighted to present award-winning investigative reporter Brian Deer with the Gold Medal for Outstanding Contribution to Public Discourse.



In over 30 years of investigative journalism, Brian Deer has been at the heart of the most significant inquiries into research fraud and the pharmaceutical industry, most notably the inquiry into the now-debunked paper linking the MMR vaccine to autism. For his work in holding private companies and public institutions to account, and for exemplary investigative journalism, we are honoured to award Brian Deer with the Hist's Gold Medal.



Brian Deer is best known for his work in The Times and The Sunday Times, including inquiries into the drug industry, medicine and social issues. His 2020 book, The Doctor Who Fooled The World, details Deer's investigation of Andrew Wakefield and the origins of the modern anti-vaccine movement. Brian Deer is the recipient of two British Press Awards, the 2011 HealthWatch award and the Eric Hoffer Book Award for nonfiction.



We are delighted to be welcoming Brian Deer to Trinity this Friday 28th January to address the society.



The event will be hosted in the Hist Debating Chamber within the GMB this coming Friday at 1PM.
