BIOS 244: Applied Artificial Intelligence in Health Care

Course Description

Artificial Intelligence (AI) platforms are now widely available, and often require little training or technical expertise. This mini-course focuses on responsible development and use of AI in healthcare. Focus is on the critical analysis of AI systems, and the evolving policy and regulatory landscape. Week one covers modern AI capabilities, including computer vision, natural language processing, and reinforcement learning. Weeks two and three focus on assessing AI systems (including robustness, bias, privacy, and interpretability) and applications (including radiology, suicide prevention, and end-of-life care). Throughout this course students will develop and evaluate a hypothetical AI system. No programming experience is required.
