Key points covered:  

AI in the hospital: How AI has revolutionized the patient experience and improved operational efficiency in hospitals, including performing tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as problem-solving, decision-making, and creativity. 

Evolution of AI: How AI has evolved—from traditional regression models to machine learning, deep learning, and the introduction of large language models like GPT—and how they have significantly expanded the possibilities and applications of AI in healthcare. 

Faster issue resolution: A real-life example of how AI helped identify and resolve an issue that would have impacted clinical care and the student experience, requiring just days instead of months to fix. 

Ambient listening: How the concept of ambient listening allows doctors to focus more on the patient rather than on data entry, leading to more natural conversations and reducing physician burnout. 

AI in clinical documentation: How AI-generated clinical notes tailored to the doctor's specialty help capture more accurate information from patient visits, reducing the need for manual note-taking and improving the overall quality of care.
