AI for health event series: conference

Exploring the opportunities, priorities and challenges when integrating AI into health systems.

Research event
22 March 2021 TO 23 March 2021 — 11:00AM TO 11:30AM

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is helping healthcare practices in myriad ways, facilitating the early detection of acute medical issues, exploiting big data to develop novel diagnostics, and supporting medical personnel with decision-making.

But there are serious questions about how AI may undermine privacy and human rights, and there is a wide gap in access to technology between richer and poorer regions. These questions have been exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The conference will see experts discuss how far AI can reshape the delivery and quality of future healthcare around the globe.
