OLATHE — Join K-State Olathe and faculty from the College of Veterinary Medicine from 1:30 - 4:30 p.m. on July 24 for Artificial Intelligence in Animal Health Diagnostics.

AI is making an impact in every field, including the world of animal health diagnostics. Standardizing interpretations of diagnostic results is one key attribute of using AI in research and clinical settings. Understanding AI is becoming increasingly important as AI continues to grow in the field of diagnostic innovation in animal health research and product development.

According to Grandview Research, the animal health industry is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.09% from 2023 to 2030, and the American Association of Industry Veteranians notes that nearly 30% of surveyed veterinarians already use AI in their daily practice.
