$100 million awarded to UNT's Health Science Center to diversify field of AI

The Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Consortium to Advance Health Equity and Researcher Diversity (AIM-AHEAD program) was created to combat harmful biases in how artificial intelligence and machine learning is used. KERA's Justin Martin talked with UNTHSC's Dr. Jamboor Vishwanatha, about what this means for North Texas. AIM-AHEAD is a consortium to promote artificial intelligence and machine learning to achieve health equity and also diversify the research workforce that is involved in the AI (artificial intelligence) and ML (machine learning) work. So it basically attacks two different issues. One is the lack of diversity in the data that is currently used in the AI/ML field.
