Interdisciplinary Research Track 2
Interdisciplinary Research Tracks are short conferences in which prominent scientists inspire the audience by illustrating new and innovative research areas that intersect information technology with other disciplines.
Participants who prefer attending only a specific track, may register using the “one-day pass” (see here)
ACM womENcourage 2019 organizes two tracks (Track 1, Track 2)
Track 2: Artificial Intelligence and Health
Where: MAXXI Auditorium
When: September 18th, part 1: 11:00 – 12:30 part 2: 13:30-15:00
This mini-symposium will tackle important issues related to the adoption and development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in health care. Distinguished scientists and health experts will cover current and future perspectives on AI and its application in the field of health.
AI applied to human health presents a range of professional challenges and raises critical ethical questions: can the integration of human and computing technologies be achieved in a principled and ethical manner.
Particular attention will be placed on bio-ethical aspects that stem from the digital revolution and underline the importance of developing effective approaches to controlling and regulating the use of AI.
The presentations will include experiences, insights, and deep understanding drawn from innovative pilot projects. Such initiatives aim to promote and motivate the next cycle of integrated scientific activities, to open up new horizons through cross-disciplinary efforts of experts from different fields, exploiting together the potential of AI technologies.
