Thoughtfully incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into medicine is a top priority of DBMI. As a leader in medical and scientific education and research, Harvard Medical School as a whole also aims to support pioneering applications of AI that can enhance learning, improve health outcomes, increase productivity, and accelerate biomedical discoveries. Through its Innovation Awards program, the Office of the Dean, led by Dean George Q. Daley, has funded the following initiatives led by DBMI members to explore how AI can be leveraged. The recipients were announced today in an email to the HMS community from the dean.
