In mid-May, Stanford Medicine and Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence played host to an unofficial “artificial intelligence health week” as four separate AI events converged on Stanford’s campus. The inaugural RAISE Health Symposium, held May 14, convened stakeholders in academia, industry, health care, government, and advocacy to address responsible AI use in health and medicine.
