The Emerging and Pandemic Infections Consortium (EPIC), Institute for Pandemics (IfP) and the Temerty Centre for AI Research and Education in Medicine (T-CAIREM) are proud to partner on a three-part, hybrid speaker series this fall on AI and infectious diseases. Moderated by The Globe and Mail’s Ivan Semeniuk, this series will be a fascinating exploration of how artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way we detect and respond to infectious diseases.

Join us on September 16 as we kick off the series with a discussion on how AI is being used to predict and prevent future pandemics. We’ll hear from keynote speaker Dr. Kamran Khan (Unity Health Toronto and BlueDot) as well as panelists Dr. Fahad Razak (Unity Health Toronto) and Dr. Michelle Murti (Ontario Ministry of Health).

By the end of the presentation, the participants will be able to: 

1. Demonstrate how large language models can enhance global epidemic surveillance
2. Illustrate the complementary roles of machine intelligence and human intelligence
