What is AI? How do scientists use it? Where does the data come from? Can AI help find a cure for Parkinson’s?  

As the use of artificial intelligence, or AI, becomes more widespread, our community has asked us many questions about how scientists may be using the technology to further Parkinson’s research. In this episode of The Michael J. Fox Foundation Parkinson’s Podcast, in its award-wining "Parkinson’s Science POV" series, Maggie Kuhl, vice president of patient engagement at MJFF, leads a conversation to answer some of those questions with: 

• Bradford Casey, PhD, senior scientific portfolio manager, MJFF 
• Brian Fiske, PhD, chief scientist, MJFF 
• Mark Frasier, PhD, chief scientist, MJFF
