Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a topic of great interest and significance to MRPs and it continued to be evident at ASMIRT/NZIMRT 2025.

The closing panel discussion of the conference focused on AI, discussing its significant advantages but also reminding us of it being a double-edged sword because of its impacts on the environment, and what it may mean for practitioner / patient interaction.

Croakey Health Media reported on the panel discussion with an article aptly named 'Artificial intelligence - the hype, hope and alarm bells'.
