U of T launches Temerty Centre for AI Research and Education in Medicine

Our daily interactions with technology create vast amounts of data and analytics giving rise to what has been dubbed the "artificial intelligence revolution." Now, a new research centre at the University of Toronto's Temerty Faculty of Medicine aims to harness the incredible promise of AI in the realms of medicine and health care. The Temerty Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research and Education in Medicine (T-CAIREM) launched this week at U of T, solidifying Toronto's place at the nexus of AI, data science and the health sciences. "Toronto is uniquely positioned to lead globally in artificial intelligence in healthcare," says Professor Muhammad Mamdani, who was recently appointed the inaugural director of T-CAIREM for a five-year term. "Our expertise in medicine and allied health sciences, computer science, statistics, mathematics and engineering is among the best in the world."
