AI Research at CHOP: Symposium and Retreat Day 2

Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute is currently undertaking a self-assessment of artificial intelligence (AI) research with the goal of understanding both the internal and external landscapes. We invite you to join us for two days in December as we hear directly from the scientists who are conducting this work and address the challenges and opportunities it offers.

On Dec. 7, we will hold a retreat focusing on the challenges and opportunities working with AI at CHOP.
