This document summarizes a presentation by Dr. Bonnie Cheuk on how AI can transform businesses. In 3 sentences: Dr. Cheuk discusses how AI can help gain a better understanding of diseases, identify new drug targets, speed up drug design and development, improve clinical trial design, and enable personalized medicine. Examples are presented where AI and machine learning have been used at AstraZeneca to classify tablets, identify likely prescribers of new drugs, and review patents. In conclusion, Dr. Cheuk emphasizes that AI should be applied carefully with consideration for ethics and unintended consequences, and that humans will continue to play an important role in applying judgment.

March 2021 6 Automation • Explicit rules/processes • Accurate output • Digitalise the process • Do tasks better/faster “Dumb” technology powered by programmable bots • Follows rules to handle straightforward tasks. • Can't react to new situations. Artificial Intelligence • No need to spell out exactly how it works • Give machine a set of data (as input) • Give machine a set of results (as output) Machine figures out what goes on in between • Can be software, a robot, an algorithm. What is AI vs Automation?

He picks up unicycles, tricycles and even bicycles that are wrapped around trees. Based on very limited info, the child is able to generalise much more broadly than it would seem possible.
