Artificial Intelligence for Health Equity (AIHE): The Quest for Responsible AI in Medicine

Artificial Intelligence for Health Equity (AIHE) is a multi-disciplinary, collaborative effort across multiple Johns Hopkins institutional assets. Faculty leading the effort are affiliated with the Center for Digital Health and Artificial Intelligence (CDHAI) at the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, the Bloomberg School of Public Health, the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and the Whiting School of Engineering. AIHE aims to address the promises, challenges, and ethical dilemmas of Al in health care, and to serve as springboard for research, outreach, and policy efforts.  AIHE's activities include the Quarterly Breakfast Series and an Annual Symposium. Topics cover critical areas such as Al governance, health equity assurance, the foundational infrastructure required for equitable Al solutions, and implementation science for AI Health Equity.

Responsible AI for Health Symposium (RAIHS)

The Inaugural Responsible AI for Health Symposium (RAIHS), a part of the Nexus AIHE events, will take place from 8:30am-5pm on August 29, 2024, in Washington D.C.  The goal of the symposium is to convene experts in the field who have approached Responsible AI and Health from diverse perspectives in their scholarly work. During the symposium, participants will address the promises, challenges, and ethical dilemmas of Al in health care, with a special focus on the tenets of responsible AI development.  We hope to use these conversations and insights as a springboard for research, outreach, and policy efforts.
