The University of Cincinnati article highlights ongoing research into the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to combat the opioid epidemic in Ohio. Researchers are developing AI models to identify high-risk individuals, optimize treatment plans, and predict overdose patterns based on large datasets. These tools aim to improve resource allocation and provide tailored interventions for those struggling with addiction.

The initiative also involves collaboration with local healthcare providers and public health agencies. Ethical considerations, such as protecting patient privacy and avoiding algorithmic bias, are key aspects of the research. By leveraging AI, the University of Cincinnati hopes to offer scalable and effective solutions to a crisis that continues to impact communities across the United States.
