Artificial intelligence applications can be powerful tools for science and healthcare research.

Three members of the MATRIX AI Consortium for Human Well-being at UT San Antonio are using their knowledge to bring AI and science together — while guiding the next generation of AI experts and building smarter AI that can translate knowledge for people of all skill sets.

In this episode of the Launchpad podcast, UT San Antonio’s John Elizondo hosts a conversation among three members of MATRIX, Amina Qutub, PhD, and Mark Goldberg, MD, the leads for the MATRIX research thrust related to augmenting human capabilities and Amanda Fernandez, PhD, the lead for the thrust in machine learning and deployment.

From discussing their best advice for students seeking careers in AI to how the technology is being used to improve trauma care and stroke management, the team stresses the need for AI to be secure, trustworthy and beneficial for the human experience.

Launchpad is produced by the Office of University Strategic Communications at UT San Antonio and is available on Apple, Spotify, SoundCloud and YouTube.
