This video is  focused on enabling artificial intelligence-based healthcare solutions to be commercially developed and applied in clinical settings. He is speaking about how AI algorithms can analyze vast amounts of medical data, including images, genetic information, and patient records, to assist healthcare providers in diagnosing diseases earlier and more accurately.Saidy's insights and examples may inspire viewers, including healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers to explore new ways of using AI to improve healthcare delivery and patient outcomes. He is also mentioning about several challenges the AI facing, including concerns about data privacy and security, algorithm bias, regulatory issues, and the potential impact on jobs in the healthcare sector. Watching the talk can help viewers grasp the potential impact of AI on the future of healthcare and the role they can play in shaping this future.

• There are several steps or requirements for joining an organization that advocates for ethical practices or has educational activities in AI in the medical field. The typical requirements include holding relevant professional qualifications and meeting the ethical and moral standards set by the organization.

We should find out the organisations that focus on medical education or AI ethics. These could be some non-profit organisations,research institutes, or professional associations. To find more about the organization's membership criteria, including costs, prerequisites, and application procedures,we must visit their website or contact them directly.Then we should follow the organization's membership application instructions. This could include filling out an application, presenting documentation of your credentials or interest in using AI in healthcare, and paying any necessary costs. We can take part in the organization's events, including conferences, webinars, workshops, and advocacy campaigns, as soon as we join there. This will support the organization's purpose and keep updated on the most recent advancements in AI ethics and healthcare education. We must utilise the organization's networking opportunities to establish connections with other professionals and subject matter experts then only we can grow professionally in the fields of AI healthcare ethics and education by gaining new information and contacts. We can make a meaningful impact on the future of healthcare while also learning from others and expanding our professional network. 

• Sir Demis Hassabis is a British computer scientist, artificial intelligence researcher and entrepreneur.  Hassabis is the CEO and co-founder of DeepMind, a machine learning AI startup, founded in London in 2010.

I think Demis Hassabis is the best influenzer who has several advancements in the field of artificial intelligence. He demonstrated exceptional intellect and curiosity with innovation, creativity from a young age, eventually becoming one of the most influential figures in the world of AI. DeepMind, under his leadership, has undertaken several projects aimed at leveraging AI to improve patient care and outcomes. 

One important fact to notice regarding the initiatives by DeepMind in healthcare was the collaboration with the UK's National Health Service (NHS) to develop Streams, an app designed to help clinicians detect acute kidney injury early. Streams uses AI algorithms to analyze patient data and provide real-time alerts to clinicians, enabling them to intervene sooner and potentially save lives.It alsoimprove the accuracy of radiotherapy treatment for cancer patients and developing algorithms to assist with the diagnosis and management of eye diseases. 

Demis Hassabis'work in promoting the use of AI in healthcare reflects his vision of using technology to tackle some of the most pressing challenges in medicine. His contributions have not only advanced the field of AI in healthcare but have also paved the way for future innovations that have the potential to transform patient care. His videos are almost answering to several AI related doubts and vast amount of information-providing.
