2026 McAuley Oration: AI for global health
Join the livestream to hear Associate Professor Chris Paton from the University of Auckland discuss how Artificial Intelligence (AI) has begun to be embedded into clinical practice around the world.
Ambient AI scribes record and summarise patient consultations. Radiology AI systems can interpret X-ray images in seconds; and patients are turning to ChatGPT in their droves with their healthcare questions.
How good are these systems? Do they preserve patient privacy? Can they support low-income countries to provide higher quality healthcare services? What is next for healthcare AI?
In this talk, Dr Chris Paton will share the latest research on AI in healthcare and how it could be used to safely support healthcare provision in resource constrained settings.
Date: Tuesday 24th November 2026.
Time: 4 to 5.15pm.
Location: Online.
