Salamanca es de las primeras academias en incorporar un miembro especializado en inteligencia artificial, tecnología que está y seguirá revolucionando tanto este como otros ámbitos. Durante la sesión y tras la lectura del acta, Corchado presentó la charla titulada “El despertar de una inteligencia global”, una gran oportunidad para acercar a los asistentes al estado actual de la IA a nivel mundial.

La anexión de Corchado abrirá las puertas a nuevos proyectos relacionados con la incorporación de las nuevas tecnologías en la medicina. El Grupo de Investigación BISITE ha desarrollado varios proyectos, sobre todo en el ámbito de la biomedicina y esperamos que este sea el inicio de grandes iniciativas para promover una mayor presencia de la inteligencia artificial y otras tecnologías en este sector.
