The National Library of Medicine (NLM) has been providing the medical field with information since 1836. Starting off as a small collection of books, the entity has grown into the world’s largest biomedical library, housing biomedical research and computational health data research. NLM supports two research programs, the Division of Extramural Programs (EP) and Intramural Research Program (IRP), that seek to catalyze advancements in the intersection of medicine and computer science. Specifically, these programs focus on biomedical informatics, data science, computational biology, and computational health. Through these programs NLM is making major investments in finding new ways that Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used in the medical field.  A couple […]

The Coordinated Science Laboratory (CSL) just released a white paper reflecting ideas that were presented and discussed at the Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Social Responsibility sponsored by the CSL at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, with co-sponsorship by the School of Information Sciences at the University. This symposium was the second of two symposia sponsored by CSL to celebrate its 70th anniversary.  Contemporary AI technologies are more powerful and pervasive than the original AI technologies created in university laboratories. While industry dominates AI today, universities can still play important roles. In this white paper, we recommend actions that universities should take to promote social responsibility in the development and […]
