Featured Speakers

AI is reshaping biomedicine in real-time. What once seemed theoretical is now driving tangible advances in research, education, clinical care, and public health. The 2025 RAISE Health Symposium will convene leading voices in technology, medicine, and policy to explore what’s real, what’s next, and what’s needed to ensure AI advances responsibly and benefits all.

This year, we will push beyond the hypotheticals, diving into real-world applications – with presentations showcasing how AI is actively transforming biomedicine today. From accelerating drug discovery to enhancing diagnostics and access to care, AI’s potential remains vast, but so are the challenges of trust, safety, and governance.

Join us for a forward-looking conversation about the practical challenges and real-world opportunities ahead.

Continued Learning Opportunities: Join us for the RAISE Health Symposium on June 2, and the Stanford Center for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and Imaging (AIMI) Symposia on June 3 and June 4, and the AI in Medical Education Symposium on June 4.
