DAISY 2024 Workshop Agenda

This year’s focus of DAISY is “Prescriptive AI.”

One of the key concepts of AI is the ability to predict a future life event based on current and past information, e.g., risk of developing a health condition or likelihood of job transition. Prescriptive AI goes beyond predictions by suggesting actions to change the odds of such events. For example, prescriptive AI would aid with drug repurposing, behavioral changes, policy changes, etc. Thus, Prescriptive AI is about strategy and decision making.
