Are you curious about artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential to revolutionize aging research and education? Join us for this informative webinar that provides a comprehensive overview of AI, from its fundamental concepts to its practical applications as the tool exponentially grows. As we approach the GSA Annual Scientific Meeting, where the Interdisciplinary Session as part of our Policy Series will focus on AI in aging research, you’ll learn how AI is being used to analyze complex biological data, develop predictive models for age-related diseases, and personalize educational and clinical healthcare experiences for older people. Explore the wide range of AI tools and products available, including machine learning algorithms, natural language processing techniques, and robotic systems. Gain valuable insights into key considerations when purchasing AI solutions, such as cost, scalability, and ethical implications. By the end of this webinar, you will have a solid understanding of AI and its potential to enhance your research and teaching endeavors as well as some ethical considerations.
Learning Outcomes:
- Gain a foundational understanding of AI: Grasp the fundamental concepts of AI, including machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing.
- Explore AI applications in aging research and education: Discover how AI is being used to analyze large datasets, develop predictive models for age-related diseases, and personalize educational experiences for older people.
- Navigate the AI landscape: Become familiar with the various AI tools and products available, their capabilities, and key factors to consider when making purchasing decisions, such as cost, scalability, and ethical implications.
