Artificial Intelligence - the current and future impact on the health and wellbeing industry

The amii Talking Health & Wellbeing podcast series sees amii Chair Dave Middleton in conversation with Jonathan Roomer, co-founder of YuLife. This podcast explores how YuLife uses AI, from the basic elements of monitoring user behaviour when engaging with the YuLife app and the obvious day-to-day efficiencies through ChatGPT to the other end of the spectrum where they are validating an AI model with the University of Essex, which identifies a risk score for an entire workforce which then monitors user health behaviour to influence behaviour change and health improvement.   Dave and Johnathan explore other ways in which AI is used within YuLife and how, while it is inevitable that the underwriting process will eventually be AI-driven, it should be seen as something that produces data to help inform decisions. It cannot replace humans because data does not factor in the commercial/ethical reasons you might want to consider. The podcast also explores how AI can help get ideas or start points for both writing and imagery, however, it should not be relied upon as the final product, and how challenging it can be to spot disinformation. David and Jonathon also discussed the fear that many people have that artificial intelligence will take their jobs or reduce employment and how the hiring process may change as AI becomes more prevalent. They believe that people who become comfortable using AI now will be the ones benefitting from it in the workplace in the future.
