AI can serve as valuable enabler once sound clinical foundation is established: Minister
NEW DELHI: Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh on Tuesday released the second edition of the postgraduate textbook of 'Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition', saying that once a sound clinical foundation is established, artificial intelligence (AI) can serve as a valuable enabler, assistant and facilitator.
The minister also stressed the need for a strong clinical foundation in medical education, notwithstanding Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its growing role.
While launching the book -- edited by Prof. Anupam Sibal and Dr Sarath Gopalan, with a foreword by Prof Kathleen B Schwartz from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine -- the minister stressed the need for a strong clinical foundation in medical education despite the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI), saying technology should complement, not replace, core medical learning.
However, he cautioned that early reliance on AI without understanding core medical principles could weaken the learning process and affect the development of competent clinicians.
