One of AI’s greatest real-world impacts will likely come in health and medicine, Bavarian State Minister Markus Blume notes in his DLD26 talk, which kicks off the conference’s BAIOSPHERE track.
Germany may not be a front-runner in consumer platforms, Blume concedes, but “especially in the field of AI and health, we are definitely leading and we can make a big contribution.” One example is the Bavarian Health Cloud, the first comprehensive medical data platform of its kind in Germany.
The project’s goal is to “bring together the data from university hospitals in the later stage, also from other hospitals, from all different sorts of sources of medical data”, Blume explains, and “open this data lake for the purpose of research from universities, but later on also for pharmaceutical companies and others.”
