Congratulations to Prof. Zoer Kourtzi and her team in the Adaptive Brain Lab one being selected as one of the five AI-deas projects at AI@Cam!
The project 'Responsible AI for better lifelong brain and mental health' was selected for challenge-led AI research as part of the AI@Cam strategy to tackle major scientific and societal challenges and make an impact on the real-world.
The project, led by the Department of Psychology with an interdisciplinary team of experts (including data science, software engineering, neuroscience and clinical practice), will exploit the latest AI discovery to better understand brain health and disease. The project will develop responsible AI-driven tools based on the exploration and evaluation of the environmental, social and neurological factors that might impact brain health. The AI-driven tools will help clinicians with early diagnose and more efficient treatments of brain diseases and mental heath disorders.
Professor Zoe Kourtzi, AI-deas challenge lead said "AI-deas is a springboard for thinking outside the box about using AI to tackle real-world challenges like those associated with brain and mental health disorders. Brain and mental health disorders touch every family. Building robust and responsible AI tools has the potential to help clinicians diagnose early, improve patient well-being and outcomes and reduce misdiagnosis, making resources available to people that need them the most."
