In this interactive session, participants will learn about the concept of AI democratization and the role it plays in reducing biases in a clinical project focusing on the modeling of treatment evaluation of patients with an acute ischemic stroke.

The set up of the workshop is:

1. Highlight the Discourse: Engage in discussions surrounding AI democratization.
2. Apply Democratization to Ischemic Stroke Research: Examine how democratization principles can enhance research practices in the field of ischemic stroke.
3. Construct a Model Together: Collaboratively develop a model of democratization, utilizing a provided case study and insights from the audience.

After the talk, we invite you to participate in a discussion with the speakers. Share your insights, ask questions, and contribute to the dialogue. 

We hope to see you at IAS, but for those who are not able to physically attend, we offer the opportunity to join this event online.
