About this Class

This two-hour virtual roundtable discussion will cover ethical considerations, policies, and guidelines related to use of artificial intelligence (AI) at NIH. Researchers at NIH face many ethical concerns with use of AI during biomedical research, such as data privacy and security concerns, accuracy of outputs, authorship and intellectual property questions, and responsible use in sensitive contexts. The program will begin with brief presentations by our panelists, followed by an open discussion.  

By the end of this training, attendees will be able to: 

  • Discuss key ethical considerations with use of AI
  • Identify policies and guidelines related to use of AI at NIH and HHS

Attendees are not expected to have any prior knowledge of AI ethics, policies, and guidelines.
