Members of our team enjoyed listening to @ACE_Innamorato @UPittIT talk today! We're glad to hear her administration is also thinking about the moral & ethical questions surrounding AI & committed to having stakeholders at the discussion table. We bake those values into each of our risk prediction models.

CP3's @walidgellad & @jennyciganic have led a suite of machine learning risk prediction projects to enhance care & prevent #overdose. We're transforming data into powerful, transparent, ethical tools for smarter care, and our work keeps growing!
