Building Benchmarks for AI-Driven Veterinary Innovation

June 9, 2026 - June 11, 2026

Cornell University – Ithaca, NY

The From Data to Animal Health: Building Benchmarks for AI-Driven Veterinary Innovation Thought Summit focuses on advancing artificial intelligence to transform animal health across species and veterinary domains. The summit will bring together experts from veterinary medicine, computer science, ethics, and law to tackle the unique challenges of creating standardized, high-quality datasets tailored to veterinary needs.

Through collaborative workshops and discussions, participants will lay the groundwork for VETNET—a pioneering ecosystem of live benchmarks designed to foster AI-driven innovation in veterinary medicine. The summit aims to spark a multi-institutional academia-industry partnership, publish a foundational whitepaper, and catalyze the development of public benchmark datasets that will drive transformative progress in animal health and improve outcomes for animals, veterinary professionals, One Health, and society at large.
