Behnaz Elhaminia’s TEDx talk discusses how her view of artificial intelligence changed during her PhD at University of Leeds. At first, she was fascinated by the idea of AI-powered robots taking over the world, but through her research she realized that AI can be a powerful tool for good. Her work focuses on using deep learning in medical imaging to improve cancer treatment. She highlights how AI can help doctors perform remote surgeries, develop artificial organs, and improve the lives of people with disabilities. Her story shows how perseverance, curiosity, and innovation can help use AI to transform healthcare and save lives.
