This series brings together public health professionals from across Canada, including frontline practitioners, technical specialists, researchers, analysts, managers, and senior leaders, to explore practical and emerging applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in public health. Through presentations and discussions featuring real-world examples, participants will learn how AI is being used to support surveillance, research, public health programs, policy, and emergency preparedness and response, while considering important issues related to equity, governance, and responsible AI use.

Across the series, we move deliberately from theory to practice; from understanding core concepts and methods, to hearing directly from teams about the practical realities of implementing AI projects in public health settings.
