Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping veterinary medicine by improving diagnostics, streamlining workflows, and expanding access to expertise—especially in limited-resource settings. This session will explore the use of AI tools such as machine learning, computer vision, and Natural Language Processing (NLP), with a focus on Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT. Attendees will learn how LLMs support clinical decisions, enhance education, and improve client communication. Through real-world case studies, the session will also address ethical considerations and the importance of human oversight, providing students with a practical understanding of AI’s potential and limitations in veterinary care.
