Baylor and Rice collaborate on AI humanities center

A new Center for Humanities-based Health AI Innovation launched this summer as a partnership between Rice and Baylor College of Medicine. According to Baylor, the center will aim to address an emerging issue in healthcare: incorporating human experiences and reducing bias in artifical intelligence. This three-year initiative is funded by a $500,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
