EMD Seminar Series: Samuel Scarpino, Ph.D. - "Pandemic Prevention in the Age of AI"
“Pandemic Prevention in the Age of AI”
Epidemics are emergent phenomena. They result from the multilevel interaction of hosts, pathogens, and environments. Said differently, infectious diseases are complex systems. Despite world-changing advances, current artificial intelligence systems exhibit limited performance in modeling such complex systems. In this talk, I will discuss opportunities to leverage AI to advance public health and why the fundamental nature of socio-biological systems will always require us to tightly integrate AI with experimental and observational systems.
YSPH values inclusion and access for all participants
