In this webinar, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s Dr. Renato Umeton will explore the transformative journey of applying artificial intelligence (AI) solutions at scale, and in full compliance, bridging the gap between Big Tech, operations, and research.

Dr. Umeton will present on:

• the strategic development of AI infrastructure.
• the governance frameworks that ensure secure use of AI.
• the deployment of GPT4DFCI—a generative AI tool, restricted to the Dana-Farber private network, that's helping the workforce with operational, administrative, and research uses. (This does not include direct clinical care.)

Throughout this hour, learn about challenges faced, breakthroughs achieved, and the future directions of expanding AI capabilities in your cancer research.
