The Parliamentary Health Research Caucus (PHRC) and Research Canada are proud to host Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: Researching and Innovative Future for Human Health and Health care. This invitation-only event, sponsored by York University and Innovative Medicines Canada, will feature twelve of the best and brightest Canadian health researchers and innovators who will share their health research and innovations that use artificial intelligence (AI) and related technologies. This kiosk-style buffet luncheon will give Parliamentarians and special guests the opportunity to meet with each researcher to better understand AI’s potential to transform health care.
