Getting Doctors and Technologists to Talk About Artificial Intelligence

On the occasion of the Artificial Intelligence Appreciation Day, a conference will be held at the Champalimaud Foundation aimed at bridging the gap between AI innovation and its implementation in medical practice.

That scientific projects are evaluated to ensure that the use of animals is needed, beneficial and that no unnecessary harm is inflicted. And that the highest standards of housing conditions must be provided by the facilities where animals are housed.
