Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform healthcare and disrupt the field of medicine in significant ways. We have already seen remarkable progress in areas such as diagnostics and data analysis, but what could broader use in patient care looks like? A little over a year ago, the arrival of ChatGPT got everyone talking about AI — how realistic it is, how well it understands certain concepts and, specifically in medicine, how it can benefit our care systems. In this episode, we explore the overarching needs for AI in pediatrics and medical education, as well as where we stand in implementing it.

We are joined by two guests from Children's Hospital Colorado who are leading the way in understanding how AI could be incorporated into pediatric care. Jim Barry, MD, specializes in neonatal/perinatal medicine at Children's Colorado and is an associate professor of pediatric neonatology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. He is also the Medical Director of the UC Health NICU. He co-founded NeoMIND-AI, a learning collaborative for neonatologists and data scientists interested in AI within neonatal and pediatric critical medicine. Sarah Milla, MD, specializes in pediatric radiology and is the John D. Strain Endowed Chair for Radiology, Chief of Pediatric Radiology and Vice Chair of Radiology at Children's Colorado and the University of Colorado School of Medicine. She is also a visiting professor.

Some highlights from this episode include:

• Examples of how AI is currently being used in medicine
• Ways providers can get started with AI
• Ideas on how we can advance care in the future with this tool
