About Us
Sparking Imagination for Responsible AI & Health
The Foundation for Artificial Intelligence & Health (FAIH) is a
501(c)(3) nonprofit on a mission to inspire the adoption of responsible AI for health by sparking imagination, advancing literacy, and fostering community. We’re an industry-led organization that helps others learn digital literacy and understand how to balance principles of responsibility with opportunity.
What We Do
At FAIH we bring diverse, cross-industry stakeholders together to realize the potential of AI for global health. We work on the gaps that the health and technology industries identify through structured programs, improve digital literacy in universities and our regional events, and participate in other nonprofits’ workgroups.
Our 2024 in Review
- We interviewed over 400 industry leaders in technology or health organizations to learn about the current needs and opportunities, translating those into our 2025 Programs.
- We held 10 discussion groups on topics ranging from drug discovery, to health services, to medical publishing.
- We hosted our inaugural Explore AI for Health event at Duke, focusing on research labs.
- We spoke at dozens of events on responsible AI across health services and life sciences.
