The following is an upcoming webinar on how AI is being used in the fight against COVID-19, hosted by NSF, Axios, and the British Embassy. Artificial Intelligence is poised to transform the modern world. In the short term, AI is being deployed like never before to combat COVID-19 as governments, businesses, and health organizations leverage the technology in unprecedented ways to respond to the pandemic. In the long term, AI will represent a step change for the economy, how we live and work, and society at large. If widely adopted, AI could add $330 billion to the UK economy alone by 2030 as it optimizes existing sectors and generates entirely […]

“Applying AI in real-world applications requires an understanding of operational realities and human workflows – especially in healthcare applications. My colleagues and I at Johns Hopkins APL are kicking off series of virtual events to look at this more closely, beginning on 4/21 with a focus on the use of AI technology to aid with the COVID-19 pandemic.”- Ashley Llorens, Chief of the Intelligent Systems Center at APL As a precursor to the 2020 National Health Symposium, the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory is hosting a virtual event exploring Operationalizing AI in Health on April 21. Event: Operationalizing AI in Health Date: April 21, 2020 Time: 3:00pm ET – 4:30pm ET Location: […]

In August 2019 the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) and the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), released A 20-Year Community Roadmap for Artificial Intelligence Research in the US. The Roadmap is the output of a series of three workshops that were held in late 2018 and early 2019, with the goal of identifying challenges and opportunities to effectively inform future federal priorities, including future AI R&D Investments. The CCC and AAAI shared the roadmap findings during the Artificial Intelligence Research: A Community Roadmap scientific session at the 2020 American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Annual Meeting, which took place in Seattle, Washington in February, 2020. The session was moderated […]

Over the last twenty years, the proliferation of Internet access, coupled with the explosion of online social networks, has allowed people around the world to share their ideas and experiences with the click of a button. Beauty vloggers craft YouTube tutorials, gamers stream their performances live over Twitch, and journalists share and source news from across the world through Twitter. This web of content is always expanding—much of the information within it is true, however, plenty of it is not. How can we determine fact from fiction in this rapidly shifting information landscape? In response to these emerging concerns the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) organized the Detecting, Combating, and Identifying […]
