Virginia Tech and Children's National Hospital in Washington, DC, are teaming up to study how artificial intelligence can be used to improve children's health care, the Washington Post reports.
"To effectively deploy technologies like generative AI in pediatric medicine, we must ensure that those interpreting the outputs are well-trained and deeply knowledgeable in the field," co-director Marius George Linguraru says.
"While the potential is immense, we can't rely on AI-generated results without proper safeguards in place."
The co-director says there's a lot of work to be done before AI can be used in children's health care, including training both pediatric specialists and AI systems to address the distinct needs of young patients, who require tailored approaches.
According to a press release, co-director Naren Ramakrishnan, director of the Sanghani Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics, says using AI to improve children's health care "isn't just about technology.
These two organizations, powered by AWS as the world's most secure and resilient computing platform, will accelerate health care innovation to improve efficiency of the health system and outcomes for patients."
Virginia Tech's Innovation Campus says the partnership with Children's National was born from an economic development initiative
