The Center for Applied AI impacts Kentucky 
and beyond

The Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence resides within the University of Kentucky Institute for Biomedical Informatics (IBI), an organization that facilitates data-intensive, multidisciplinary science.

In 2020, the IBI Innovation Core was formed to promote the innovative use of technology in support of translational science. In 2021, the College of Medicine funded the Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIM) Alliance, to further promote the application of AI across medical domains.

CAAI’s mission is to combine Innovation Core and AIM efforts to expand AI innovation by:

· Rapidly identifying, prototyping, and applying technological advancements to research and translational science

· Eliminating common research advancement barriers in computational complexity and scale

· Developing templated modules and pipelines for the repeatable and verifiable use of AI across research domains

· Functioning as a research bridge between departments and colleges of fundamental science, engineering, and medicine
