The AACR Special Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Conference will offer a comprehensive look at AI’s transformative role in oncology, with expert-led discussions and interactive sessions. Researchers from several disciplines will convene to discuss AI applications in drug design, drug repurposing, and treatment response prediction for advancing cancer therapeutics and improving patient outcomes. The conference will highlight AI advances in imaging technologies and the latest foundation models that integrate diverse datasets to deepen our understanding of cancer biology. These innovations pave the way for precision oncology by identifying patterns in large, complex datasets.  

As AI shapes clinical care, the conference will additionally cover the need for fairness in research, emphasizing responsible and inclusive implementation while fostering collaboration across disciplines and career stages.
