Date:<\/strong> Tuesday, February 15, 2022 -12:00pm to 1:00pm <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Office of Research in the Elaine Marieb College of Nursing is pleased to present the first talk in its Spring 2022 Seminar Series. Dr. Rae Walker will speak on “Artificial Intelligence for Health Care: What Are Our Commitments?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning applications are increasingly woven into the fabric of clinical care and decision-making, and daily life. These technologies rely on massive amounts of energy and data continuously collected through platforms such as electronic health records, smart phones, search engines, credit cards, traffic cameras, smart speakers and social media. AI and big data have been embraced as imperatives for the future of health and care; heralded by various scholars, innovators, and professional organizations as \u201ctransformative\u201d, \u201cdisruptive\u201d, \u201cgame-changing\u201d, and \u201cmagic\u201d. This talk begins by examining definitions and origins of AI for health care, and current claims regarding its potential and impacts. Drawing on the intellectual labor and advocacy of radical nurses, scholars, and communities already working to address issues of equity and injustice associated with AI and big data, and through the backdrop of their own experiences as a clinician, nurse inventor and data scientist, Dr. Rae Walker asks, \u201cAre big data and AI for health care, as currently envisioned and applied, compatible with emancipatory goals of nursing? And where they are not, what are our commitments to new futures \u2013 as healers, and as human beings?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n This presentation is designed to be accessible to community members, students, clinicians, researchers and technologists, whether or not they have any prior experience with AI, machine learning or computer science.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n The zoom link for the talk is
