D A I M - Diversity for AI in Medicine

CAIM wants to strengthen diverse viewpoints in AI research for healthcare, encouraging both female and minority researchers to embark on an AI in medicine career and combatting biases in AI algorithm development. Its new initiative DAIM (Diversity for AI in Medicine) starts in May 2022 with an invited keynote by Franziska Mathis-Ullrich, Assistant Professor at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, co-founder of Ophthorobotics AG and specialist in robot-assisted surgery and AI in medical interventions.

DAIM will encompass activities in the areas of networking and public relations, mentoring, and research. Over the coming months, the initiative will feature several role models for successful careers in STEM and specifically AI research with a focus on medical applications. Ongoing research projects on bias and inclusion in AI development for medicine can apply soon for a dedicated DAIM award, to be presented in November 2022.
