Abstract: 

With the advance of AI techniques and data to bring modeling into clinical bio-medicine, we will discuss a framework for assessing the maturity and knowledge gaps associated with these technologies. The goal of this presentation is to provide key information concerning the scientific, regulatory, legal, and cultural factors essential for successful introduction of AI in healthcare. We will also arm the audience member with critical methods to avoid false conclusions and exaggerated expectations associated with AI, and we will discuss select real-world examples.
