This pre-conference workshop in Brisbane on Monday 9 November serves as an introduction to many of the terms and concepts explored during the two-day AI in public health conference.
A basic grounding in AI platforms and tools will be provided combined with hands-on tool use with evidence-informed perspectives on AI deployment and evaluation.
