Whether you’re an AI super user who is already sold on its impact, a local leader who is overwhelmed by confusing lingo, or an AI hater who feels like the tech has been oversold and is deeply wary of its potential harms, we hope you join us for this open, candid conversation about the realities, pros, cons and questions around this massive, rapidly evolving technology shift.
Through a facilitated discussion with community advocates, health leaders, and tech experts on Tuesday, March 24th, at 1:00pm ET | 10:00am PT, we’ll talk through how AI is influencing community-based, public health, and healthcare organizations, risks, rewards and threats to health equity, and what both organizations and individuals need to know about its future impact.
Attendees should come with their questions, but discussion topics could include:
- What do we even mean by AI?
