This year marks the 40th year of Artificial Intelligence at the University of Georgia. That’s 40 years of groundbreaking innovation, research and development from areas of healthcare, agriculture, computer science, robotics and more.

Believe it or not in 1984, a group of individuals from the Department of Computer Science were drawn to creating technology and innovation that traditionally required human intelligence and that’s how AI found its roots at UGA.

A new study led by Dr. Tiaming Liu features an open-source AI used for biomedical applications.

A recent article published by Nature Medicine introduces the world to a recently discovered open-source visual-language foundation model BiomedGPT that has been used for various biomedical applications in the field. As we have witnessed the rise of AI use in various technologies over the past year Dr. Tianming Liu's research team has used this idea and collaborated on using AI techniques in solving tasks within the biomedical field such as radiology interpretation and clinical information summarization.
