RESI: AI/Generative AI Resources

Events

Below is a list of upcoming events and archived events focusing on Generative AI.

Biosecurity in the Age of AI and Genomics, July 11, 2025, noon – 1:00 pm

Location: Online

Gigi Gronvall, PhD (Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health)

Jassi Pannu, MD (Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security)

Moderated by: Stephanie Guerra, PhD (White House Office of Science and Technology Policy)

Abstract: The convergence of AI and biotechnology is reshaping both the promise and the peril of biological research, potentially increasing beneficial capabilities to achieve new therapeutics faster, but also introducing new risks that nefarious actors could misuse of biology. Scientists have long considered and taken action to mitigate the dual use risks of biological materials. Recombinant DNA technologies increased the urgency of action. Now, the advent of artificial intelligence, in combination with more sophisticated genetic read and write capabilities, necessitates rethinking of the moral obligations of scientists and policy makers. This session will describe the new types of risks enabled by combined data and biological technologies and discuss proposals for their effective governance.

2nd Digital Health Summit, November 6–7, 2025

Location: Courtyard Pittsburgh University Center, 100 Lytton Avenue

Abstract: Spotlighting the role of AI in revolutionizing healthcare, the 2025 summit will discuss:

Digital Infrastructure and Inpatient Architecture – Exploring how AI-driven automation and predictive analytics are reshaping hospital operations and inpatient care.
Digital Governance and Law – Addressing the evolving legal landscape of AI, data privacy and ethical considerations in healthcare technology.
R&D Pitfalls in the Digital Landscape – Discussing common challenges in AI-driven research and development, from data biases to regulatory hurdles.
Hospital-at-Home Transformation – Examining how AI and remote monitoring are enabling acute-level care in patients' homes.

The summit aims to bring together leading proponents of digital medicine in healthcare delivery and education. It will provide a platform for developing multispecialty grant proposals focused on patient-related outcomes and discussing AI-driven innovation in the digital health space.

Sponsored by the University of Pittsburgh Schools of Health Sciences and UPMC
