PHAISE

PHAISE: Public Health + AI Strategic Endeavors   explores the use of artificial intelligence to help solve key public health issues

PHAISE—Public Health + AI Strategic Endeavors—is a Schoolwide initiative developed to explore the use of artificial intelligence to help solve key public health issues.  

PHAISE seeks to:

  • Foster in-depth discussion within the Bloomberg School community on AI in public health. 

  • Identify areas of strategic interest and need at the School. 
  • Enhance understanding, appropriate adoption, and development of AI tools at the School. 

PHAISE is led by the Office of the Dean in collaboration with research@BSPH.  

PHAISE Seminars

PHAISE takes shape through monthly seminars co-hosted by departments at the School. Seminars feature internal and external speakers with expertise in a range of AI topics.  

From panel discussions to presentations on research, seminars take a variety of forms and are open to all audiences. No experience with AI is required.  

Seminars are in person at or near the School’s Wolfe Street building, and will be recorded and shared internally and externally.  

Upcoming Seminars
