Computing Community Consortium Blog

The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.

Computing Researchers Respond to COVID-19: National Health Symposium- Operationalizing AI in Health

September 1st, 2020 / in Announcements, CCC / by Helen Wright

Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL) is hosting the 2nd Annual National Health Symposium, Sept. 14 & 15, 2020 (1:00 – 4:30 p.m. ET daily), online via ZoomGov. The symposium will explore artificial intelligence (AI) and the continuum between essential research and development through their translation from innovation into operational impact. Participants will learn about real-world AI applications for healthcare, harnessing AI technologies to accelerate advances while doing no harm, and ensuring the safety and security of healthcare while realizing AI’s full potential.

The National Health Symposium will include addresses from the following keynote speakers:

  • Christine Fox, Assistant Director for Policy and Analysis, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory
  • James Weinstein, Senior Vice President, Microsoft Healthcare

One of the two panels is called Unlocking the Power of AI for Healthcare and will be moderated by Ashley Llorens, chief of the Intelligent Systems Center at JHU/APL and a member of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC)’s Assured Autonomy Organizing Committee. It will explore potential applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare. Which emerging techniques in AI hold the most promise to reliably automate key aspects of healthcare workflows? What can we learn from early successes and failures? Panelists will take a broad look at how AI can have an impact in healthcare — from perception, decision-making, autonomous action, teaming, and the generation of new patterns and structures. Participating in this discussion are the following leaders from industry, academia, and government.
