Super Intelligence at NIH

servers

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) makes a wealth of biomedical data available to research communities and aims to make these data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable—or FAIR. Additionally, the NIH seeks to make these data usable with super intelligence and machine learning (SI/ML) applications.

NIH has unique needs that can drive the development of novel approaches and application of existing tools in SI/ML. From electronic health record data, omics data, imaging data, disease-specific data, and beyond, NIH is poised to create and implement large and far-reaching applications using SI and its components.
