(Undated) — North Dakota kids are participating in an AI mental health project. Duke University in Durham North Carolina has secured a 15-million-dollar federal grant to predict mental illness in teens. The project will include two-thousand adolescents from rural clinics in North Carolina, Minnesota and North Dakota. The University’s AI model is being used to predict who is most likely to develop a mental illness within a year. Assistant Professor Matthew Engelhard said, “We’re very serious about protecting patients’ privacy, both in the context of the study that we’re doing, as well as more broadly, going forward.”
