Event Highlights
About the Symposium
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize biomedical research, health care, and education. However, amid this exciting landscape, a surge in news reports raise concerns that AI is prone to inflated expectations, errors, and biases. The UT System AI Symposium in Health Care aims to bridge the gap between cutting-edge methodology and current-day applications. By bringing together researchers, clinicians, educators, and students, we hope to create a collaborative space to:
- Explore current AI activities: Learn about the latest AI initiatives and breakthroughs in the health care domain.
- Forge new collaborations: Connect with fellow UT System researchers, practitioners, and innovators.
- Uncover diverse AI possibilities: Delve into the multifaceted applications of AI in health care.
