Intel Works with University of Pennsylvania in Using Privacy-Preserving AI to Identify Brain Tumors

Intel Labs and the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn Medicine) are co-developing technology to enable a federation of 29 international healthcare and research institutions led by Penn Medicine to train artificial intelligence (AI) models that identify brain tumors using a privacy-preserving technique called federated learning.

Using AI to Identify Brain Tumors with Federated Learning

Researchers at Intel Labs and the Perelman School of Medicine are using privacy-preserving technique called federated learning to train AI models that identify brain tumors. With federated learning, research institutions can collaborate on deep learning projects without sharing patient data. “AI shows great promise for the early detection of brain tumors, but it will require more data than any single medical center holds to reach its full potential,” said Jason Martin, principal engineer at Intel Labs.
