Does AI have the power to control the spread of infection of COVID-19, discover cures and vaccines, and aid in the treatment of the critically ill? Or should AI practitioners step back and let the epidemiologists, clinicians, and microbiologists manage the response?

Can we trust AI to guide decision making?

Do we have access to the data we need and how can we share it whilst balancing patient privacy?

We have assembled a world class panel of AI and medical experts to tackle our biggest crisis.

This webinar is for every global citizen. While we will dive into data science and machine learning, how AI is applied in this area may affect us all. As we are driven by data and medical science, we will be guided by empirical evidence, not by fearmongering and misinformation.
