A look back at the “AI and megadata in tomorrow’s medical research and practice” conference.

On Friday 10 February 2023, the ICAN IHU, together with the Conseil d’Etat, the CNIL and the Alliance IHU France, organised a major conference on the use of data and artificial intelligence (AI) in the healthcare sector.

The conference, which was also available by videoconference, attracted more than 600 remote participants and around a hundred in person, including 10 media from the national general press and the specialist health and digital press, who came to attend the debates led by speakers specialising in the subject.

What is the aim of this conference?

The day was opened by Didier-Roland Tabuteau (Vice-President of the Conseil d’État), Marie-Laure Denis (President of the CNIL) and Stéphane Hatem (Director General of the ICAN IHU).

3 round tables discussed the issues surrounding the use of AI in research and medical practice, the regulatory framework for health data and the economic ecosystem for this data in France.

Renaud Vedel (Chief of Staff to Jean-Noël Barrot, Minister Delegate for the Digital Transition and Telecommunications) and Thierry Tuot (Deputy Chairman of the Interior Section of the Council of State) concluded the discussions, which were rich in proposals.

The work initiated at this conference will continue within the Alliance IHU France to build a new model for the use of health data in research.

The aim of the Alliance IHU France is to create, in collaboration with the CNIL and with the support of the Conseil d’Etat and the government, a new experimental area in order to find solutions to the various economic, social and medical issues raised by the manipulation of artificial intelligence and the use of data within the healthcare sector. All of this will be done with complete transparency for the public, patients and the press.
