Participants will explore how these advanced AI systems structure and process information and compare their performance in diagnostic reasoning to traditional clinical workflows. The session will also examine critical ethical challenges—including patient data privacy, informed consent, and algorithmic bias—and how these factors influence equitable healthcare delivery. Finally, participants will gain actionable strategies to engage with and shape AI-driven innovations, ensuring that physician perspectives remain central in the responsible integration of AI tools into healthcare systems.
