The NAII is building a network of AI researchers and practitioners across the country's VA medical centers (VAMCs) to help advance AI research and maximize the benefits of AI for Veterans. Experts in different areas of AI, medicine, and/or health care are encouraged to join the AI Network to help develop and launch AI solutions to improve VA operations and address Veterans' health concerns. The NAII shares AI strategies and lessons learned with the broader VA community. The NAII also highlights VA's innovative AI research and how AI technologies can be leveraged, and disseminates this information to partners across government, academia, and industry.
To increase AI R&D capacity, the NAII has established incentive strategies to recruit AI talent and expand opportunities for partnerships across VA. For more information, please contact NAII@VA.gov if you are at VA and interested in joining the AI Network.
