This workshop will explore current and potential future applications for AI in genomics and precision health along the continuum from translational research to clinical applications.
Description
A planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will organize and conduct a public workshop to explore the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in advancing genomics and precision health. The overarching goal of the workshop is to explore current and potential future applications for AI in genomics and precision health along the continuum from translational research to clinical applications.
The workshop may include invited presentations and panel discussions to:
- Explore how AI has been implemented in genomics and precision health settings to date (e.g., variant interpretation, data integration, patient and participant identification, return of results, treatment selection).
- Discuss ways in which AI may be applied in the near future, including for multi-modal diagnostics and translational genomics research, while considering the potential benefits and challenges related to data harmonization and security, workforce, and usefulness for all.
- Consider how the accuracy of, and bias inherent to, AI technologies are evaluated and their potential impacts on AI applications in genomics-related research and clinical care.
- Examine lessons learned from applications of AI in other fields that may be transferable to genomics and precision health throughout the translational research process.
The planning committee will organize the workshop, develop the agenda, select and invite speakers and discussants, and moderate or identify moderators for the discussions. Proceedings-in brief of the presentations and discussions at the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
