Federal health officials wrestling with when and how to use artificial intelligence will on Wednesday host an invitation-only meeting of AI leaders across industry, academia, and government.

Called “AI in Action: Transforming Health and Human Services,” the three-hour event is hosted by the federal health department. Its agenda illustrates a department excitedly working through how AI fits into its mission — as well as into the United States’ broader health care system. Panelists include leaders from the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital, and electronic health record giant Epic Systems.

STAT obtained a final agenda for the event as well as an invite sent at the end of August that hypes the “transformative role of Artificial Intelligence in the Healthcare, Human Services, and Public Health sectors” and “an engaging discussion on how AI is revolutionizing the way we approach health and wellness.” The invite promises attendees the opportunity to explore “cutting-edge AI applications,” as well as “ethical and practical considerations of AI in health care,” and “future trends and opportunities for AI-driven advancements.”
