FHRI supports four innovative AI projects
A total of $1,954,926 ex GST has been awarded to Western Australian innovators through the Innovation Challenge – Generative Artificial Intelligence Applications Stage 2 program.
This program promotes creative solutions that use Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to address significant health and medical challenges and proactively builds the capacity and capability of WA innovators to leverage the strengths and opportunities presented by Generative Artificial Intelligence applications.
Generative AI refers to a category of AI algorithms that generate new outputs based on the data they are trained on. The algorithms can be applied to create new content, including audio code, images, text, simulations and videos.
