How to Trust AI in Healthcare: MLOps

AI models are increasingly prevalent in healthcare and hold the promise of dramatically improving patient outcomes and operational efficiency. However, deployed AI models require extreme care to avoid dangerous extrapolation and maintain accuracy.

Healthcare Organizations should demand that every deployed AI model is monitored for data drift, accuracy, and bias / fairness. They should utilize automated alerts, concrete business or clinical rules, and a champion / challenger deployment strategy to mitigate the risks of wayward AI models.

How do you use AI to stop the pandemic? Insights from the Front Lines

At the beginning of the pandemic, DataRobot developed highly accurate forecasting models to predict the spread of COVID-19. As the pandemic evolved, so did our efforts by using data science to shine a light on the continuous challenges faced by federal decision makers.

This session will cover how AI was used to forecast surges across the U.S., increase the speed of the vaccine trials, understand resource and supply chain constraints, and even get kids safely back into the classroom. Attendees will leave the session with a clear understanding of how data science was used to address COVID-19 challenges

Democratizing Health and Wellness by Trusting Artificial Intelligence.

Democratizing health means making wellness and healthcare accessible to everyone, but access alone is not enough to bring about the healthcare revolution. Data and the systems to process that data, including AI, will need to be used in new (and sometimes unconventional) ways that empower patients and individuals to thrive.

But how can AI be trusted with healthcare decisions that can have life and death consequences? This session will cover trust and bias in AI, exciting recent examples of how AI is being used to revolutionize patient and individual care, including examples specific to its use in the pandemic.
