MCML Delegation Visit to the USA

Advancing AI Research Through Transatlantic Cooperation

Generative AI and medical AI are at the forefront of technological innovation, offering transformative potential across sectors. A core delegation of around 15 researchers from MCML will showcase and discuss research in Generative AI and Medical AI, aiming to establish new partnerships and collaborative research initiatives.

From May 19 to 23, 2025, the MCML will embark on a delegation trip to the East Coast of the United States. With visits to leading research institutions, including Harvard University, MIT, NYU, and Cornell Tech, this trip aims to strengthen transatlantic cooperation in the rapidly evolving field of AI.

The delegation trip focuses on two key areas of research: On the one hand, participants will explore the latest advances in Generative AI and Computer Vision. This includes critical discussions on issues such as fairness, transparency, and the societal integration of generative AI systems.

On the other hand, the trip highlights developments in Medical AI and Machine Learning in Healthcare. The focus here is on transformative approaches in medical imaging, diagnostics, and personalized medicine—with an emphasis on real-world clinical impact and the practical implementation of AI technologies in healthcare settings.

The delegation visit is supported by the DWIH New York and the American Council on Germany, both of whom play a key role in strengthening academic and scientific ties between Germany and the United States.
