About the PHHP Artificial Intelligence Work Group
AI has been applied with demonstrable success across broader research and business landscapes. However, less so for the core functions of public health, namely protecting and promoting the health of populations. The PHHP-AI-WG will help bridge this gap by bringing together interdisciplinary expertise, fostering novel ideas and engaging both established and early career investigators. The work group will capitalize on current AI capacity at UF and grow it further.
Short-term objectives include increased visibility of UF and expansion of collaborative networks. In the long term, we seek to establish the college’s national reputation for public health AI.
Activities
- Periodic seminars, featuring:
- Presentations from nationally and internationally recognized experts in health care and public health AI
- Showcase of UF-led research in public health AI
- Discussion of public health research challenges, identification of ways in which AI can be key to overcome the challenges
- Support for AI symposia, organizing satellite workshops or booths within established conferences, support for events hosted by UF (e.g., APHA, AMIA, SIOP, the UF DAISY)
- Routine meetings of the Co-Chairs with the work group committee for review, planning and management.
All activities will strongly call for participation across all PHHP departments and programs, and other colleges will be welcome to engage with the work group.
