AI: A Balancing Act

The class will begin with an introduction to AI as used in clinical spaces, such as OpenEvidence or Doximity. Comparisons between popular AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Elicit, etc.) and clinical AI tools will help articulate the difference between tools optimized for clinical use and tools for the general population. There will be conversations surrounding ethical and nonethical usage of AI in clinical spaces, how and when to incorporate health information professionals into their workflow, and demonstrating the collaborative benefits of health information professionals in the clinic. The class will have a chance to practice with some AI tools, therefore laptops are required.
