I am one of the Deputy Chief Research and Development Officers within the Office of Research and Development. I am really excited today to talk about this cutting-edge topic. I am joined today by a number of our esteemed colleagues from our National Artificial Intelligence Institute. I am going to just stop for a second and let Gil, Christos and Michael go ahead and introduce themselves.\nGil Alterovitz:\tHello everyone. My name is Gil Alterovitz. I am Director of the National Artificial Intelligence Institute. It is great to be here to talk to all of you about this exciting work. I am looking forward to talking about that. I will pass it back. I think, Michael, you may be on mute.\nMichael Kim:\tHi, sorry about that. Hi, my name is Michael Kim. I am Chief of Staff at the National Artificial Intelligence Institute. I report to Dr. Alterovitz. I am a physician and clinical Pharm Rx, radiology, neurology background. I have worked in different research and operational things. I look forward to this panel. I am really excited.\nChristos Makridis:\tHello everybody. It is an honor to be here. My name is Christos. I have been serving Gil and Michael. My background is in economics and engineering. Like everybody else here, I am really excited and honored by the opportunity to share what we have learned and the conversation that lies ahead.\nMary Klote:\tThanks everybody. We have some other panelists that are going to join toward the end of the call. We will introduce them as they take on some of the questions. Just a note for our audience, this is going to be the first of several sessions that we are going to sponsor on artificial intelligence, research, and the IRB. The information that we are presenting in this session is not ORD policy at this point. We are just having a talk about AI. What will come in the future will be discussions about forming guidance around the use of AI, how we are going to implement some of the trustworthy AI documents that have recently been released. This topic today is really just intended to introduce you to some of the issues that are related to AI and research, and specifically for IRB review. We will get to those initial questions. In future sessions, we will also talk about the use of AI and things that do not go to the IRB. There are lots of things that are being done in quality improvement and operations. That are lots of things that are research not involving human subjects where people are using de-identified data or synthetic data. Those will be in future sessions.\nAs Parker mentioned at the beginning of this, we are not going to have a live Q&A from the audience. Again, we have 90 minutes today for a really big topic and some pre-determined questions to get to the heart of this matter for all of you. Future sessions will have that open Q&A, but we wanted to just level-set at this meeting today.\nTo really get things started, when we talk about artificial intelligence in our daily lives, I am not sure that all of us might appreciate some of the artificial intelligence that is affecting us every day. They are things like my smart watch which tells me when to stand up. Right? It suggests when I should stand up. The fact that when I am typing something in Word, it starts to complete the sentence for me. Right? Things like that are little AI things that have already been added into our lives pretty seamlessly at this point. We almost do not know that somebody in the background is programming these things and introducing them to us. A lot of them are really great time savers and great things to help us in our lives. There are some challenges, and we are going to talk about them. Even for Mother’s Day, I went on ChatGPT, and I wrote my mom a Mother’s Day poem. I had ChatGPT write her a Mother’s Day poem in an Irish brogue using her name. It is things like that that are really fun to do.\nDr. Ramoni has challenged everybody on the staff in ORD to try to use an artificial intelligenc","cbCaig1hCsqf4N9h","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaig1hCsqf4N9h","docx",72417,28,"English","# Panel Introduction\n## Session scope: AI, research, and IRB\n## Everyday AI examples and staff AI use\n## VA research scope using AI-related terms\n## Definitions of artificial intelligence","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of this session discussed in the transcript?\",\"answer\":\"The session introduces issues related to artificial intelligence in research, with a specific focus on matters that come before IRBs, and sets expectations for future guidance and discussion.\"},{\"question\":\"Will there be live Q\\u0026A with the audience in this session?\",\"answer\":\"No live Q\\u0026A is planned for this meeting; it uses predetermined questions to cover the topic within a set time.\"},{\"question\":\"How many AI-related studies are referenced for the Department of Veterans Affairs?\",\"answer\":\"The speakers state there are more than 346 studies, identified through VAIRRS searches using terms such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and natural language processing.\"}]","Artificial Intelligence in Research - IRB Review Session Intro | DOCX",10]
