Thank you to Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital (JHACH) for sponsoring and hosting our inaugural Morning Sparks: Innovation X-change breakfast.
The event was kicked off by Alicia Schulhof, President of JHACH, and followed by an overview of the topic - Artificial Intelligence - by Dr. John Licato of USF's Advanced Machine and Human Reasoning Lab. Participants discussed their current and future work with AI across healthcare, art, marine science, technology, and more. It was a great success and the interactive format was appreciated by participants. Stay tuned for our next one on Advanced Air Mobility.
