#2018biomedAI



Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are rapidly advancing technologies increasingly in use across industries, including biomedical research and healthcare delivery. To explore the opportunities for AI and ML in biomedical research, NIH will bring together leaders in innovation and science for a robust and in-depth discussion during this full-day public workshop.



Presenters at the workshop include leading experts from Amazon and IBM, and scientists at the NIH Clinical Center, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, and the University of Cincinnati who are employing AI/ML in biomedical research settings. Speakers will engage with workshop participants on AI and ML topics such as integration into healthcare, future uses in biomedical research, the potential for enhancing clinical care and scientific discovery, and ethical considerations. Craig Mundie, who served on the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), and was formerly Microsoft’s Chief Research Strategy Officer, will deliver the keynote address.
