Focus Group on Artificial Intelligence for Health
July 2018 – present
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and World Health Organization (WHO) Focus Group on "Artificial Intelligence for Health" (FG-AI4H; see project website) is establishing a platform on which AI applications for health can be rigorously evaluated against a system of standards. The Machine Learning group provides organizational and technical support to the focus group. For the latter, this includes guidance in the selection of representative training data for evaluation of AI algorithms and enhancing the interpretability and transparency of AI algorithms.
