Marvin Wright: Transparency through Explainable AI

Prof. Dr. Marvin Wright talks about the importance of explainable AI in the context of “Lifespan AI”. His lecture shows how important it is to make AI models more transparent in order to better understand complex relationships in healthcare.

AI needs good data

A special highlight is the participation of Prof. Dr. Iris Pigeot, Director of the BIPS, in the discussion round “Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Health and Resilience?” on the second day of the event.
