The Canary, the Code, and ILAs: Generative AI, a Video Game, and the Future of Lung Disease
8:30 am
- Generative AI is often talked about but what does it actually look like in lung disease? See the collaboration between OSIC and top AI labs at the University of Edinburgh and UCL/Crick London to investigate generative models, concepts and progress
- Explore how incidental lung abnormalities (ILAs) may serve as the “canary in the coal mine” a potential cross-disease signal—offering insights into early changes across multiple pulmonary conditions, not just IPF
- See how OSIC is rethinking traditional research models—using a video game to engage diverse contributors in annotating ILAs and advancing early detection
