Hey Community!

We're happy to share the next video in the "Code to Care" series on our InterSystems Developers YouTube:

⏯  Before the Lightbulb: Understanding the First Phase of the AI Revolution in Medicine

This episode features Dr. Peter Lee, President of Microsoft Research and co-author of The AI Revolution in Medicine, in a discussion on the early stages of generative AI development. Dr. Lee draws parallels between today’s AI advancements and historical technological milestones such as electricity and the transistor, describing the current moment as a “pre-lightbulb” era - filled with potential yet far from realizing its full impact. The conversation explores both the opportunities and challenges of AI, with a focus on healthcare applications, such as ambient clinical intelligence, which demonstrates early yet meaningful progress in transforming clinical practice.

Presenters: 
🗣 @Don Woodlock, Head of Global Healthcare Solutions, InterSystems
