Scientists Meet Scientists – TUM-IAS Wednesday Coffee Talk by Prof. Daniel Rückert "AI and the Future of Medicine"
Events, WCT |

On 4 June 2025, Prof. Daniel Rückert (Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare and Medicine, TUM) will talk about “AI and the Future of Medicine”.
Abstract: Over the last decade, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques have led to significant advances across many areas of society. Recently, deep learning has emerged as a particularly powerful approach for solving different tasks across many application domains, including in medicine and healthcare. This talk will focus on discussing the potential for AI for the personalised diagnosis and prognosis of diseases as well as the prediction of treatment response. In particular, I will show how AI has already transformed the acquisition, analysis and interpretation of radiological images and how large-scale AI models (so-called foundation models or large language models) can also transform other areas in medicine and healthcare. Furthermore, we will discuss how AI solutions can preserve privacy while also providing trustworthy and explainable solutions for clinicians.

THE TUM-IAS WEDNESDAY COFFEE TALKS
Every Wednesday after lunch, it's all about a new topic - current research highlights at TUM, insights into the work of our Fellows from all over the world, sometimes even topics not usually found at TUM, such as history or theology.
The talks held online start every Wednesday during TUM lecture time at 13:00 CE(S)T. Everyone is welcome - TUM researchers of all levels, students, visiting scholars, and anyone interested!
Each final Wednesday of the month, a topic related to the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals will be featured as a part of the Seminar Series of European Universities on Sustainability, a new initiative of the TUM-IAS in partnership with universities across Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe.
