Hispanic perspectives of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
MU is looking for people who would be interested in discussing the use of Artificial Intelligence in healthcare, particularly as it relates to Hispanic, African American, and other communities of color.
This research is being conducted by Marquette University on behalf of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. This is a way to make sure that minority community voices are fully included in this national discussion.
The focus groups will be three 1-hour sessions, with a $50 incentive provided overall. There will be a Spanish language translator present in the session to ensure that people who are non-native English speakers feel comfortable to speak and be heard. Some English is helpful in this context. The sessions will be held on Zoom.
