Editor’s note: This is the fourth in our series on senior artificial intelligence officers in health care. Other modern Caio profiles include Dennis Chorniki at the University of California, Davis Healthand Dr. Karandip Singh at the University of California, San Diego Health and Alde Mizaku at the National Hospital for Children.
When artificial intelligence provider can help remove opioids from the outpatient surgery, and prevent children’s strokes in children, it is difficult to say that its benefits are in the clinical area. But achieving these goals requires a smart and intentional approach to spread and integrate artificial intelligence.
Dr. Zafar Chaudhry is the chief digital official, the largest Amnesty International and the information employee at Seattle for Children. It leads clinical teams and information technology teams charged with these achievements and more.
Health care news Talk to Chaudrey to conduct an interview of two parts. Today in the first part, he talks about how he reaches a major role of artificial intelligence officers, and what is in his background and experience makes him suitable for this position – and what is expected in this position with the continued technology in development.
Tomorrow, in the second part, Chaudry will discuss the many different methods that are published in Seattle Children’s and the results that already accumulate from AI’s investments in the health system.
Q: How did Seattle children come close to you to become the chief artificial intelligence officer? What were they looking for?
A. For us in children, it was more than evolution. I was in Seattle for children. This is my eighth year. I started here as a water manager, and developed into the chief digital information staff, and this is an evolution because what we learned on our technology journey is that we went from doing things, just fixing things, until we are more active, so that we are now at the forefront of how to provide technology services to the caliber, our sickness and our parents.
Therefore, it is evolution. I don’t think artificial intelligence is a new concept. He was present for a long time. I got close to taking over the new role. It was more how my role was evolving with the things I and my team. We used to go from these pieces retroactively to more active pieces.
Q: Is this your first post at all where artificial intelligence comes to a large world? What makes you in your background suitable for you to be a major president of Amnesty International?
A. This is definitely my first league that has the title of artificial intelligence. I think what makes me suitable for him is that I am a doctor who is recovering. Therefore, I did not start my journey in the technology industry. My journey started to care for patients, understand how healthy care looks, and then, as I tell people, I wander around the dark side and join the world of technology.
The source of the trip, where I see Amnesty International brings us and adds this to the address, means that I am more than one leader who focuses on business that tries to solve problems in the real world in exchange for a person running data centers or repairing individuals. Because I believe that what we have evolved from is that we have moved from spending a lot of time and money on devices and programs to what we are now, which is, How can you really take advantage of the tools needed to bring real front value to the patients you serve?
I was on that trip with my team. Not only runs these commodities cut, but we also run the analyzes and now cut off Amnesty International. I think Looking at the head of Amnesty International Less than technology. Technology that you can buy from multiple sellers. It is more about how you use this to bring your organization to the vanguard of the services you provide. The effect that can be for you.
I spend my time thinking about the tools that we will get. Then what is the effect it will cause in the front end of the services we provide. Can we provide services faster, faster, faster, and the most important, with the best results that we can provide? Because basically, you can bring your child to our organization and what you expect is not technology. What you expect is that your child leaves the institution well, because this is what people want.
This is what parents and caregivers want. Artificial intelligence is a component that now allows you to look at things in a different way and provides better results.
Q: Please describe the artificial intelligence technique part of your job in Seattle for children. In broad terms, what is expected from you? And with a more specific girl, what is the usual day for you?
A. When we started The journey about artificial intelligenceBefore we actually got to the technology article, we had to focus on people and practical. The way we deal with this, how can we first train everyone on the emerging tools that we define as artificial intelligence? Everyone is taking the artificial intelligence cycle now in Seattle for children.
How do we provide a policy used by the correct tools and not to lose data that you should not lose because we would like to put data in the wrong places at times, and this may be a danger? We have a policy on artificial intelligence.
Then how do we review requests about artificial intelligence so we build the right tools? Therefore, my job first requires determining all of this, which is what we did. But on a daily basis, did we buy the right tools? Are the tools safe? Then do we allow our doctors to use these tools in the ways they want to use these tools?
Our basic partnership here with Google in the area of artificial intelligence. We spent a lot of time to take all our analyzes and transfer them initially to Google Cloud.
We have just finished a major project in this field because that was the construction of the foundation line. We are now in the process of forming Google Gemini Ai to do some clinical use. Some are almost ready for peak time. We are about to launch Gemini for the internal use of our employees, where you can, with confidence in a safe environment, know that you can use the tool to improve productivity, but also allow you to focus more of your time to care for patients for administrative work.
