SUMMARY:CDUHR Methods Core Presentation featuring Jerel Ezell - "AI in Substance Use Research: Understanding the Perils and Prospects"
DESCRIPTION:Could AI help us address entrenched challenges in supporting the health of people with substance use disorders? How would AI mesh with the ethos of the typically non-tech-savvy substance use research field? And where would we begin? AI’s possibilities are limitless. However\, to date\, AI’s possibilities in modern public health\, specifically substance use\, have not been deeply explored. In this talk\, we’ll discuss the basics of AI literacy and competency and unpack the current state of AI development in the substance use field. We’ll also discuss evolving AI ethics and potential challenges and opportunities in developing AI-driven interventions. \nJerel Ezell is an assistant professor and social epidemiologist at the University of Chicago. He did his PhD in sociology at the University of Chicago and his MPH at Columbia University. He is a former Fulbright Scholar and currently directs the Center for AI and Everybody and the Berkeley Center for Cultural Humility. Dr. Ezell’s research and teaching focus on racial and geographic disparities in opioid use. He has written for The New York Times\, Newsweek\, POLITICO\, and TIME Magazine\, among other outlets. \nPlease click the link below to join the meeting: https://nyu.zoom.us/j/96223077284\nOne tap mobile: 1-646-558-8656\nWebinar ID: 962 2307 7284
