Marty Tenenbaum to Speak at Stanford AI Salon on May 11

Cancer Commons founder Marty Tenenbaum, Ph.D., will speak May 11 at the Stanford AI Salon, a regular event hosted by the Stanford University Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. Marty, who founded Cancer Commons after his own battle with melanoma, will discuss the potential for artificial intelligence to help find better cancer treatments in a talk titled “How can AI cure cancer?”

According to the event website, “AI Salon is a roughly bi-weekly event on Fridays where the AI Lab gathers to discuss high-level topics in AI and machine learning. The goal is to encourage ourselves to think beyond our individual day-to-day research, and better see how our work fits into the long-term trajectory of scientific progress, and into society as a whole. Each Salon has a different topic for discussion, which is led by two speakers: typically one expert guest, and one AI Lab member. We hold the event in the spirit of Enlightenment-era salons, with no electronics or whiteboard allowed: only free-ranging discussion among attendees, starting with a 10-minute opening statement from the two speakers.”

Marty’s talk takes place on May 11 at 3:45 pm. Learn more about AI Salon.
