报告简介：

This lecture explores the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare,covering foundational AI methodologies, practical applications, technical challenges,and causal inference frameworks.

The lecture begins by outlining AI’s core healthcare applications—including disease prediction/diagnosis (e.g., cancer, diabetes), personalized treatment, drug discovery,medical imaging, and remote monitoring—before diving into Machine Learning (ML)subsets: Supervised Learning (with labeled data for regression/classification),

Unsupervised Learning (pattern detection in unlabeled data), and Reinforcement Learning (agent-based reward maximization).

The lecture also distinguishes association vs. causation, highlighting Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) as the gold standard for causal inference and Mendelian Randomization (MR) as an alternative for unfeasible RCTs. Finally, it presents the Sequential Diagnosis Benchmark and MAI Diagnostic Orchestrator (MAIDrO),which, paired with OpenAI’s o3 model, achieves 80% diagnostic accuracy (four times higher than generalist physicians) and 20% lower costs.

Overall, the lecture underscores AI’s potential to enhance healthcare efficiency and personalization while addressing critical challenges in interpretability, generalization, and causal validation.
