Artificial Intelligence Interest Group

Biomedical science is in the midst of a technological revolution driven by innovations in deep learning neural network architecture and availability of computational power. Cutting-edge AI-based techniques are being applied to every sub-field of the biological sciences to produce novel, ground-breaking advancements.

The Artificial Intelligence Interest Group (AIIG) aims to promote the awareness, understanding, and adoption of Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning approaches across the NIH. We aim to take a broad view of AI/DL across all fields in the biomedical sciences, with the idea that learning about many different applications of this technology will yield a deeper understanding of how it works and facilitate cross-pollination between field. The group is intended for both experts and novices: We believe that everyone can find value in learning about and discussing a wide range of topics in this burgeoning field.

Regular meetings are in the form of a weekly AI Journal Club and Seminar Series, where AIIG members from various scientific backgrounds take turns leading a session on a topic of interest. We help organize a new yearly event, the NIH Artificial Intelligence Symposium, where researchers across NIH can gather to learn and share their AI-related research. We will also promote other Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning-related events to the listserv.

Note: This AIIG reformed in 2024 and was previously called the Deep Learning & AI in Biomedical Sciences Interest Group. Prior to 2024, the AIIG was led by June Lee, M.D., Ph.D., LeeJun@mail.nih.gov.
