This year’s focus of DAISY is “Prescriptive AI.”
DAISY 2024 Workshop registration is now opened!
September 8-10, 2024
One of the key concepts of AI is the ability to predict a future life event based on current and past information, e.g., risk of developing a health condition or likelihood of job transition. Prescriptive AI goes beyond predictions by suggesting actions to change the odds of such events. For example, prescriptive AI would aid with drug repurposing, behavioral changes, policy changes, etc. Thus, Prescriptive AI is about strategy and decision making. Onsite attendance will be limited at ~80-100 persons maximum, depending on space and budget. Additional registrants will be provided with online connection details to allow virtual workshop attendance. All registrants will be contacted to confirm their status and those approved for onsite attendance will receive information to book the hotel at a special conference rate.
