Webinar| June 4| Noon - 1:30pm ET

• Member/Member-in-training — $0
• Nonmember/Nonmember-in-training — $15

Audience: Vision scientists and researchers interested in learning more about how AI tools and stategies can apply to animal research.

Summary: Artificial intelligence (AI) plays an increasing role in various aspects of scientific research. Examples include data analysis, simulation and modeling, drug discovery, monitoring and diagnosis, as well as ethical considerations. Overall, AI enhances efficacy, reduces costs, and contributes to more ethical practices in animal research by supplementing traditional methods with advanced technological solutions. In this workshop, organized by the ARVO Animals in Research Committee (ARC), the audience will be updated on the application and beneficial aspects of the use of AI in animal research in the fields of vision science and ophthalmology.

The webinar is hosted by ARVO's Animals in Research (ARC) Committee. A certificate of attendance will be available to attendees upon completion.
