In this lecture, Dr. Ying-Ja Chen from NVIDIA discussed the impact of Generative AI in the biomedical field. She explained how AI is used in areas like digital health, genomics, drug discovery, and medical imaging. She talked about challenges in using AI in biomedical projects which is figuring out the right problem to solve and setting realistic goals and expectation. Dr. Chen also discussed how GPUs outperform CPUs for machine learning and how they help train large AI models. The AI software which has been developed with GPUs is advancing many fields, including biology and robotics. As a PhD student working on AI in medical imaging, this lecture was very helpful for me. It gave me a better understanding of the power of Generative AI and the opportunities NVIDIA’s GPUs offer for building advanced machine learning models. I’m now more interested in NVIDIA’s work and aspire to contribute to their innovative research as an engineer in the future.
