AI adoption in NIH research shows funding premium but deployment gap

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new paper analyzes the adoption of artificial intelligence and machine learning in research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The study found that AI constitutes 15.9% of the NIH portfolio, with a notable funding premium, and is concentrated in areas like discovery and prediction. However, a significant gap exists between research and deployment, as 79% of AI projects remain in development stages. Furthermore, research focused on health disparities is underrepresented, accounting for only 5.7% of AI-funded work, despite its importance to the NIH's mission. AI

IMPACT Highlights a critical gap in AI deployment within biomedical research and underrepresentation of health disparities, informing future funding and policy.
