The University of Texas at Arlington will bring together experts and innovators at the fifth annual Texas Health Informatics Alliance Conference, exploring how artificial intelligence is shaping the future of health care.
The conference will take place Friday, Sept. 26, in the Bluebonnet Ballroom of the University Center. This year's theme, ALL IN: Practice of Trustworthy and Responsible AI Operations in Health Care, reflects its focus on ethical, effective and patient-centered AI applications.
Our conference has become a must-attend event for anyone in health informatics. AI is touching every field these days and it's important to have an open and honest dialogue of how it's impacting health care. We have two great keynote speakers and panel discussions on AI that will make this conference the best yet."
