An interdisciplinary center that integrates artificial intelligence, data science and genomic screening--the first of its kind in New York City--is slated to open in late 2021. Mount Sinai's Icahn School of Medicine announced on Tuesday the launch of the Hamilton and Amabel James Center for Artificial Intelligence and Human Health, which will be staffed by about 40 principal investigators and 250 graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and computer scientists. "Mount Sinai has consistently been at the forefront of advancing healthcare across medical disciplines and this initiative represents our next step forward in building on that legacy," says Kenneth Davis, MD, Mount Sinai Health System's president and CEO. "We see the potential of artificial intelligence to radically transform the care that patients receive, and we want to shape and lead this effort. Davis added that the new center will serve as a "hub where our talented researchers can collaborate in unprecedented ways and bring forward ideas and innovative technologies that achieve better outcomes for our patients."
