At the beginning of the new year, the Winter School XAI 2025 will occur from January 6 to 10, 2025, at the Masaryk Oncology Institute in Brno and the Medical University of Graz. This unique program will provide practical insights into the latest artificial intelligence (AI) advancements in digital pathology.

Participants will engage in training sessions led by experts, covering essential topics such as AI-assisted diagnostics, the significance of explainability in medical AI, and certification processes according to the In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR). The program also includes a practical component, allowing participants to work directly with digital pathology data, including whole-slide images and clinical data.

Representatives of the BIoMedAI project participated in the 1st Annual Congress of the Asian Society of Digital Pathology (ASDP), which took place from October 2 to 4, 2024, in Seoul, South Korea.

The delegation included Vít Musil, the team leader from the RationAI lab and Assistant professor at the Department of Computer Science, along with PhD student Adam Bajger and master's student Adam Kukučka, who presented the results of his research. This research, initially part of his bachelor’s thesis, is now under review.

From September 2 to 6, 2024, the Faculty of Informatics and the Institute of Computer Science at Masaryk University in Brno hosted a successful summer school focused on Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) in digital pathology. Organized by members of the BioMedAI project, the event attracted nearly 40 participants eager to explore the applications of AI in medicine.

The XAI Summer School has successfully started, with nearly 40 participants attending lectures by experts in the field. Renowned speakers are sharing valuable insights and inspiring the next generation to explore this high-potential area that promises significant advancements in medicine.
