President's Inauguration Speech


GOOD MORNING & WELCOME TO THE 2ND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ORGANISED BY THE AIIMSONIANS OF UK AND EUROPE.

 

TODAY, IT IS MY GREAT PLEASURE TO STAND BEFORE YOU AT THIS BEAUTIFUL BOTANICAL GUARDEN IN BIRMINGHAM ON A SUNNY DAY. THIS GATHERING REPRESENTS A REMARKABLE CONVERGENCE OF MINDS, A CELEBRATION OF KNOWLEDGE, AND A TESTAMENT TO OUR SHARED COMMITMENT TO ADVANCING HEALTHCARE ADDRESSING INEQUALITIES IN GLOBAL HEALTH.

 

THANKS TO YOUR UNWAVERING SUPPORT, WE HAVE OVERCOME OUR DISAPPOINTMENTS WITH DETERMINATION AND RESOLVE TO ACHIEVE OUR GOAL.

 

TO THIS END, WE ARE NOW REGISTERED AS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT CIC. WE HAVE A WEBSITE THAT WE CAN BE PROUD OF.

AND WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY PUBLISHED OUR JOURNAL TO BE RELEASED WITH THIS MEETING. ALL OF YOU SHOULD HAVE A COPY TO READ AND DIGEST.

WE HAVE A VIBRANT AND INCLUSIVE EXECUTIVE BODY.

AND TODAY, WE ARE STAGING THE 2ND AUE CONFERENCE IN BIRMINGHAM – AN INDICATION OF OUR EMPHAIC SUCCESS.

 

HOWEVER, OUR JOB IS NOT FINISHED YET.

 

TOGETHER, AS WE EMBARK ON THIS JOURNEY, LET US REFLECT ON THE LEGACY OF OUR ESTEEMED INSTITUTION, THE AIIMS.

THE AIIMS HAS BEEN A BEACON OF EXCELLENCE, NURTURING GENERATIONS OF HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS, RESEARCHERS, AND VISIONARIES.

OUR ALUMNI, AFFECTIONATELY KNOWN AS AIIMSONIANS, HAVE LEFT AN INDELIBLE MARK ON THE GLOBAL MEDICAL LANDSCAPE FOR THE POSTERITY.

 

TODAY, WE GATHER NOT MERELY AS PARTICIPANTS BUT AS TORCHBEARERS OF INNOVATION, COMPASSION, AND COLLABORATION.

WE CONTINUE WITH OUR THEME OF THE CONFERENCE – “GLOBAL HEALTH INEQUALITIES” AND HEALTHCARE BEYOND BORDERS – RESONATES DEEPLY.

WE ARE UNITED BY A COMMON PURPOSE: TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF ALL HUMANITY.

 

LATER ON, TODAY, WE WILL ENGAGE IN SPIRITED DISCUSSIONS ON “LEARNING FROM MISTAKES”, SHARING INNOVATIONS BY GROUNDBREAKING RESEARCH THAT MIGHT ENTICE US TO FORGE PARTNERSHIPS TO EXPLORE NOVEL APPROACHES TO PATIENT CARE, DISEASE PREVENTION, AND MEDICAL EDUCATION.

 

HARSH WILL PRESIDE OVER THE SESSION TO EXPLORE THE MYSTERIES IN THE HISTORY OF AIIMS, SUPPORTED BY SURESH.

AND TO CELEBRATE THE PLATINUM JUBILEE OF PKD’S APPOINTMENT TO AIIMS, LIKE THE PREVIOUS YEAR, WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THE RECIPIENT FOR THE PKD AWARD FOR THIS YEAR.

 

FINALLY, WE HAVE A WORKSHOP FOR THE YOUNGER AIIMSONIANS REGARDING MENTORSHIP, HOW TO BECOME AN ENTERPRENEUR, AND REMODELLING HEALTH SERVICES FOR INDIA.

 

OUR SESSIONS WILL SPAN DIVERSE TOPICS – PRECISION MEDICINE, TELEHEALTH, AI, GENOMICS AND MORE.

I ENCOURAGE YOU NOT TO MISS THE SESSION ON AI, AS OUR FUTURE ALMOST CERTAINLY, WILL BE DICTATED BY THE DIGITAL REVOLUTION.

 

LET US RECOGNIZE THE TIRELESS EFFORTS OF OUR ORGANISING COMMITTEE AND VOLUNTEERS WHO HAVE MADE THIS EVENT POSSIBLE. THEIR DEDICATION EXEMPLIFIES THE SPIRIT OF SERVICE THAT DEFINES AIIMSONIANS WORLDWIDE. MY UNWAVERING APPRECIATION GOES TO SURESH FOR BEING A FLUENT AND PROLIFIC THINKER AND WRITER.

TO TARUN – A FANTASTIC ENTERTAINER AND ORGANIZER

AND TO HARSH FOR GIVING ATTENTION TO DETAILS: PUTTING DOTS ON THE “I” AND PUTTING THE CROSS ON THE” T”.

 

AS WE BEGIN THIS CONFERENCE, LET US REAFFIRM OUR COMMITMENT TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF MEDICAL PRACTICE, ETHICS AND EMPATHY.

LET US EMBRACE CURIOSITY, CHALLENGE DOGMAS, AND CHAMPION EVIDENCE-BASED MEDICINE. LET US FOSTER AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE IDEAS FLOURISH AND WHERE MENTORSHIP THRIVES.

 

IN CLOSING, I EXTEND MY HEARTFELT GRATITUDE TO EACH ONE OF YOU. MAY THIS CONFERENCE BE A CATALYST FOR TRANSFORMATIVE CHANGE – A SYMPHONY OF IDEAS THAT REVERBERATE ACROSS BORDERS, TRANSCENDING LANGUAGE, CULTURE, AND DISCIPLINE.

 

THANK YOU AND LET US EMBARK ON THIS REMARKABLE JOURNEY TOGETHER.

 

THERE ARE SOME GROUND RULES AND INFORMATION THAT TARUN WILL SHARE AND SURESH WILL TALK ABOUT THE RULES OF THE ACADEMIC SESSIONS. PLEASE ADHERE TO THESE RULES.

AUE Annual Event 2024, Birmingham

Chairman of the Session on AI

DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR, ALAN TURING CRACKED THE ENIGMA CODE, HE BECAME THE FATHER OF MODERN COMPUTER SCIENCE, HE LAID THE CENTRAL CONCEPT OF MODERN COMPUTERS AND DEVISED THE AUTOMATIC COMPUTING MACHINE, WHICH WAS THE FIRST DIGITAL COMPUTER WITH STORED PROGRAMMES.

IN 1985-86, I WAS INVOLVED IN A RESEARCH PROJECT “COMPUTER AIDED DIAGNOSIS OF ACUTE ABDOMINAL PAIN”. Professor F T DE DOMBAL FROM LEADS WAS THE CHIEF INVESTIGATOR IN THIS PROJECT.

AT THAT TIME THE COMPUTERS, ALTHOUGH A MIRACULOUS INVENTION, WERE VERY SLOW WITH AN INEFFICIENT CPU. SINCE THEN, THE DIGITAL REVOLUTION HAS OVERTAKEN EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIFE.

TODAY, THE POSSIBILITIES WITH AI ARE INFINITE.

THE LAST REMAINING POINT OF TRANSFORMATION IS THE FINAL TRIGGER.

DESPITE, SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS IN AUTOMATION OF WARFARE AND VEHICLES, THE HUMAN, ATLEAST FOR THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE, WILL CONTINUE TO HOLD THE CONTROL.

 IT IS NOT FAR OFF BEFORE THE MACHINES CAN ACQUIRE COMPLETE CONTROL.

IN THIS SESSION AJAY BAKSHI WILL TALK ABOUT THE NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESS: LLM, SLM THAT CHAT GPT, GEMINI AND USE TO PREDICT AND GENERATE AI.

WHEREAS SANJAYA KHANAL WILL TALK ABOUT THE CLINICAL APPLICATION OF AI TODAY.
