Ison, Ph.D. Lorenzo Picchiarini Our recent research, highlighted by ACM Tech News, focuses on the critical issue of algorithmic bias affecting minoritized students in higher education. Published in the AERA Open journal, our study reveals that predictive algorithms often inaccurately forecast failure rates for Black and Latinx students, leading to significant false negatives. This calls for a reevaluation of these algorithms to include more predictive variables for minoritized groups and ensure fairness through human oversight in data analysis.

Seeking Clinical Partners for AI Healthcare Collaboration! At Dasion, we are dedicated to advancing the frontiers of AI and healthcare. This mission is deeply personal to me. My family's experiences with medical inefficiencies, where I tragically lost loved ones, have inspired me to drive change and innovation in healthcare. We are actively seeking to collaborate with: 1) Medical Centers and Hospitals: We are looking to integrate our unified learning solutions into clinical settings that could benefit patients. 2) Physicians with Research and Startup Interests: We invite physicians interested in pioneering AI-driven healthcare startups to collaborate with us. Our extensive experience in developing predictive models and machine learning technologies can significantly contribute to innovative healthcare solutions. We also welcome anyone who can help make connections to colleagues and institutions within the healthcare sector who might benefit from or contribute to our AI healthcare initiatives. My personal journey, inspired by my family's struggles and losses, has instilled in me a profound sense of purpose. Let’s collaborate to bring cutting-edge AI solutions to the forefront of healthcare. #AI #Healthcare #Collaboration #MachineLearning #HealthcareInnovation #StartupSupport #BigData #PredictiveModeling #MedicalResearch Please reach out or tag someone who might be interested in this collaborative opportunity!  Schedule a 15-minute meeting with me:
