AI for Impact: Advancing the Human Condition
The promise of AI is not just in automation and efficiency—but in its potential to improve lives in deeply human ways. In this powerful 20-minute session, Daniel Conroy, along with a senior executive from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), will explore how AI is being used to combat the growing mental health crisis, including depression and suicide among veterans and other vulnerable populations. From real-time monitoring to early intervention and support systems, attendees will learn how AI tools are driving meaningful improvements in care delivery and outcomes for those facing invisible battles.
What You Will Learn:
- How the VA is deploying AI to identify at-risk individuals earlier and intervene more effectively
- The role of AI in personalizing mental health care at scale
- Lessons learned from government-led AI initiatives aimed at improving public health
- The ethical, operational, and human considerations when applying AI in high-stakes, emotionally sensitive environments
- How enterprise IT and AI leaders can translate these approaches to improve employee well-being and community impact
- This is a rare look at AI’s role in solving one of society’s most urgent challenges—through the lens of service, care, and compassion.
