AI in Drug Discovery and Pharmaceutical Research 3

Objective

 Examine the advances of AI in public health and the potential challenges that lie ahead.

Description

 AI can be a valuable tool for the development of public health policy. The ability to draw together various datasets allows insights to be made that would otherwise be difficult to develop with traditional methods. Algorithms can be employed in an iterative manner, with results of policies monitored, and subsequently informing and improving future policies. Leveraging these insights will allow policies to be developed that are better-targeted, impactful and timely. AI has a great deal to offer policymakers but, like all new technologies, trust and education in how to use it effectively and responsibly are critical to its future uptake and usefulness.
