Can #AI in healthcare really deliver - and for whom?

Last night for #CamFest, we were joined by experts from across health & AI to ask what progress really looks like - from health inequalities to patient safety, regulation to real-world deployment. 💡

Big thanks to all those who joined us!

With the image of #AI already tarnished by its nefarious use it seems the biggest challenge will be to gain & maintain public trust in health care uses 🤔
