When you see GPT-made slides during the talks (text-heavy, multi-blocks, small fonts) the interest drops right away đź«

Talking at the Future of Math Symposium in 10 minutes (livestream link: youtube.com/live/tN4hsT5t0nw…). I decided to make the talk "personal" and explain the five moments that updated me on how fast AI will change mathematics. (The ChatGPT's illustration of these moments is so good!!)

Some thoughts being a reviewer, AC, and committee member this year so far: medical AI should always prioritize the design towards the end application than exclusively chasing novelty and fancy concepts.

This is a great tool for surgical plan review. However, most of such tools still overlook effective user interaction methods and real-time quality feedback in planning and monitoring. Reviewers also tend to overlook this fact as well🤷‍♂️ youtu.be/C60QCvdq6cs?si=2CUz…

I am not against using coding/writing agents for research works, but there seems to be a big drive to use them to speed up publication counts, potentially at the expenses of depriving the learning experience/thinking of trainees. Is it what university research is going to now?
