Presenter: William Hersh, MD, FACMI, FAMIA, FIAHSI, FACP 

Topic: "Translational Artificial Intelligence (AI): The Need to Translate from Basic Science to Clinical Value" 

Description: Machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) have the potential to transform biomedicine and health, yet their promise remains largely unfulfilled.

There have been many impressive achievements in applying AI to biomedical and health data in “basic science” settings, yet its value in every day clinical care or research is modest.

This talk will highlight some current accomplishments of AI, note the need for clinical implementation and evaluation, and describe some research by the speaker to assess AI in clinical settings
