The findings outlined where the technology showed promise and what limitations need to be addressed before AI is unleashed on patients. With growing provider shortages, especially in rural states like Maine, the study highlights how […]]]> /research/2025/06/03/how-well-can-ai-diagnose-patients-compared-to-human-clinicians/feed/ 0 /research/2025/04/30/maine-ai-conference-to-explore-opportunities-risks-and-innovations/ Thu, 01 May 2025 01:20:43 +0000 /research/?p=50735 Artificial intelligence is transforming how people work, live and solve problems. To help the public shape how this powerful technology is adopted and applied in the Pine Tree State, the University of Maine Artificial Intelligence Initiative will convene the second annual Maine AI Conference on June 13 in the Collins Center for the Arts in […]]]> /research/2021/06/01/epic-spotlight-students-team-up-to-create-artificial-intelligence-for-energy-efficiency/ /research/2021/06/01/epic-spotlight-students-team-up-to-create-artificial-intelligence-for-energy-efficiency/#respond Tue, 01 Jun 2021 17:31:11 +0000 /research/?p=44959 A team of students making up the first cohort with 91����’s Experiential Learning Innovation Central (EPIC) used physical computing to propose a smart climate control system for buildings. The project was guided by professor of electrical and computer engineering Ali Abedi, Drew Hooke, and Sean Taylor of the Innovative Media Research and Commercialization Center (IMRC).
