    IPEM topical report: results of a 2024 UK survey of artificial intelligence in medical physics and clinical engineering

    Medical physics and clinical engineering (MPCE) professionals have a critical role in the safe and effective deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, however their attitudes and opinions towards AI are not well understood. A 2024 survey was launched by the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine to UK MPCE professionals to gather information on the current usage of AI, whether it is believed their role will change, if there is any fear about job replacement, the training being conducted, levels of preparedness, concerns about AI introduction, and barriers to AI deployment. A total of 409 responses were received. It was found that AI is widely used (59% of respondents), with wide disparities between disciplines (radiotherapy 76% compared to clinical engineering 37%). Job losses are predicted by 40% of staff, with junior NHS staff more concerned. Nearly 80% of respondents are investing in their own learning, but only 23% know where to look for training resources. Only 10% of the cohort had some prior AI education. Without prior education on AI, only 13% of respondents feel prepared for AI introduction; but this increases by a factor of three with education. Lack of training and knowledge is the major concern and barrier to AI adoption, while lack of a clear AI governance framework was also frequently cited. This survey provides a snapshot of the current status and attitudes of the UK MPCE workforce towards AI and should be used in guiding future efforts in training and education, addressing discipline disparities and overcoming deployment barriers.</p

    The British ‘Bluesman’ Paul Oliver and the Nature of Transatlantic Blues Scholarship

    No full text
    Recent revisionist studies have argued that much of what is known about music known as the blues’ has been 'invented' by the writing of enthusiasts far removed from the African American culture that created the music. Elijah Wald and Marybeth Hamilton in particular have attempted to sift through the clouds of romanticism, and tried to unveil more empirical histories that were previously obscured by the fallacious genre distinctions conjured up during the 1960s blues revival. While this revisionist scholarship has shed light on some previously ignored historical facts, writers have tended to concentrate on the romanticism of blues writing strictly from an American perspective, failing to acknowledge the genesis and influence of transatlantic scholarship, and therefore ignoring the work of the most prolific and influential blues scholar of the twentieth century, British writer Paul Oliver. By examining the core of Oliver’s research and writing during the 1950s and 1960s, this study aims to place Oliver in his rightful place at the centre of blues historiography. His scholarship allows a more detailed appreciation of the manner in which the blues was studied, through lyrics, recordings, oral histories, photography and African American literature. These historical sources were interpreted in accordance with the author’s attitudes to the commercial popular music, which allowed the ‘reconstruction’ of an African American ‘folk’ culture in which the blues became the antithesis of pop. Importantly, this study seeks to transcend dominant discourses of national cultural ownership or ethnocentrism, and demonstrate that representations of African American music and culture were constructed within a transatlantic context. The blues is music with roots in the African American experience within the United States; however, as Paul Oliver’s writing shows, its reception and representation were not limited by the same national, cultural or racial boundaries
