Generative AI offers unprecedented tools to reshape health, promising to improve outcomes, access, and efficiency by creating new solutions for both patient self-care and clinical practice (a model known as the co-production of health). AI agents are also accelerating opportunities for start-ups to bring new innovations to market at an unprecedented pace.
Dr Vivian Lee, Visiting Fellow at Reuben College, explored how these can align with global goals to advance healthspan. However, the massive energy and data infrastructure required to train and run these advanced models create a significant, often overlooked, environmental footprint. We closed with a discussion of a framework for evaluating AI health solutions that prioritize both human and planetary wellbeing.
