Expert human curation remains crucial in AI-driven medical literature, adding context and insights that AI lacks. Join our webinar to explore NEJM Journal Watch's approach to blending AI with human expertise.
As artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes how we search and consume medical literature, expert human curation is more critical than ever. Discerning and expressing what truly matters in a research article to practicing clinicians, researchers, and students requires lived experiences with patients that AI lacks. Delivering emerging knowledge is essential, but only when placed in context does that knowledge have the power to inform practice.
This webinar will explore how NEJM Journal Watch is bridging that gap, ensuring that its readers only see signals with very little noise thanks to expertly curated research summaries that carry clinical insights in a human voice.
This session will engage clinicians, researchers, librarians, and students in understanding the evolving human-AI interactions in curation, authoring, and education. We will emphasize the necessity of human oversight and the importance of human expertise.
