The AI.Health4All Center for Health Equity using Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are transforming health care and medical practice at a rapid rate. The University of Illinois College of Medicine has a unique role to play in AI/ML research by bringing to this work an equity approach that ensures that health disparities are addressed.
The College of Medicine has established the AI.Health4All Center to support research, training, education, and innovation at the intersection of health equity and advanced technology.
