The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) selected Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine to establish the Center for Humanities-based Health AI Innovation (CHHAIN), a pioneering initiative that embeds humanities research into the development of trustworthy health AI technologies. This initiative is jointly led by Rice University’s Medical Humanities Research Institute (MHRI) and the Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy at Baylor College of Medicine.
CHHAIN serves as a central hub for exploring how humanities-based insights, particularly those grounded in ethics, history and patient narratives, can shape the future of responsible AI in health care.
