About the Talk:

Join OpenAI Forum for a conversation with Amy Deng, an AI researcher and brain tumor patient, about how she used a range of OpenAI tools to navigate her health journey. Her examples include Codex to analyze longitudinal data, Voice Mode to capture unstructured symptoms, and ChatGPT Health to connect to her electronic health records. Amy will discuss how she now also works with families to help them build their own AI operating systems for organizing health information and navigating care alongside their physicians.

About the Speaker:

Amy Deng, Former AI Researcher at METR

Amy was an AI researcher at METR, a nonprofit focused on LLM evaluations and AI safety, when she was diagnosed with a brain tumor on her pituitary gland. Surgery and medication followed, and so did debilitating fatigue. Chronic, multi-system conditions like that are among the least well served, so she took her care into her own hands. Drawing on her research training, she started collecting clinical and lifestyle data on herself and using AI tools to investigate her symptoms, form hypotheses, and run her own experiments.Her own experience convinced her the real bottleneck in AI for health isn't capability, it's adoption. She is passionate about improving AI literacy and showing people that what she did for herself is within reach for anyone. Today she works with families to build custom tools and advise them on using AI to improve their care.
