- Transforming the AI workforce
- Prepare students for careers in artificial intelligence and data science
For her part, Ashley Llorens, vice president and general manager of Research and Incubations at Microsoft explained the following: “Meeting the urgent need for new technologies in health requires the union of diverse partners from all sectors. With insights from AI professionals, healthcare professionals, and the research community, the AI3C can guide collaborative projects that accelerate the translation of cutting-edge technologies from research to solution development and implementation.”
The various actors from industry and academia that will participate in the project recognized the importance of AI to improve equity in health and promote access to the latest technological advances in health. In addition, they recognized that the accelerated development of AI will be possible thanks to the collaborative work between academia, governments, technology companies and consumers and the general public.
