The role of AI in advancing public health

For health departments that a short time ago were struggling to move from faxing to online reporting, the leap into the world of artificial intelligence (AI) may seem like a bridge too far. Even those with well-resourced data systems might find it challenging to grasp AI's impact. However, AI has the potential to revolutionize how work gets done in local, state, tribal and territorial public health departments, improving day-to-day operations and unlocking new ways to advance health outcomes.  

In this webinar, leading public health experts explore how AI can optimize operations at local, state and national levels—from transforming data collection, analytics, and forecasting to customizing communication messages, responding to misinformation, and targeting resources to better promote equity.  

Webinar attendees will: 

• Become more familiar with and fluent in the language and use of this new technology. 
• Learn ways for even the smallest of health departments to incorporate AI into their day-to-day practices. 
• Discover real-world examples of how AI is already being used in local, state, and federal settings to advance health outcomes. 
• Understand the risks of AI misuse—and how to prevent bias and faulty conclusions.
