These co-creation working groups will produce immediate opportunities for collaboration and feed into the Insight research agenda for the next decade. The topic areas we plan to focus on in this event include Generative AI, Trustworthy Decisions and Bias, Data Sharing, and Governance, and the Digital Transformation of Healthcare.
