We are proud of the recognition by the B Lab of AI for this important work; for our status as an employee-owned company; for the company's diversity; and for our commitment to the community through volunteerism and charitable contribution.
For example, AI is currently working to reduce healthcare disparities and to improve care coordination via health information exchange technology, in close partnership with healthcare institutions and government agencies.
