On Thursday 26 April 2018, 120 researchers from across UCL were brought together for the first event from the UCL Cancer Domain - Artificial Intelligence in Cancer Research.
The event brought the community together to identify innovative uses of AI and advanced analytic methodologies, and consider societal, medical and ethical implications, as well as discuss opportunities and challenges around data access.
For those who weren't able to make the event, a selection of the PowerPoint presentations have been published below, and you can view the Twitter 'moment' for a selection of tweets to give you a flavour of the afternoon!
