Suchi Saria

Suchi Saria is an internationally recognized leader in artificial intelligence and healthcare transformation. She holds the John C. Malone Endowed Chair at Johns Hopkins University, where she directs the AI and Health Lab and holds joint appointments in Computer Science, Medicine, and Health Policy.

She is also the Founder & CEO of Bayesian Health, a real-time clinical intelligence platform spun out of her research at Hopkins. Bayesian partners with leading health systems to make the shift from reactive to proactive care, delivering measurable impact across mortality, readmissions, and length of stay. The platform is FDA-cleared and built to continuously monitor patients and surface the ones who need attention before deterioration sets in, hardwiring quality as a durable strategy rather than a series of disconnected initiatives.

Over two decades of research, Dr. Saria has made field-advancing contributions in robust machine learning, real-world AI performance, and AI system reliability in healthcare. Her work is funded by leading agencies including NSF, DARPA, FDA, NIH, and CDC. She serves as a trusted advisor to major health systems, Fortune 500 companies, and national policymaking bodies, and has delivered 450+ invited talks and keynotes worldwide.

Her recognitions include TIME Best Inventions (2023 & 2024), Modern Healthcare’s Top 25 Innovators, Sloan Research Fellowship, and IEEE’s “AI’s 10 to Watch.” She received an honorary doctorate from Mount Holyoke and completed her PhD in AI at Stanford.

She serves on the Board of the Coalition of Health AI (CHAI), the National Academy of Medicine AI Code of Conduct working group, and the editorial board of the Journal of Machine Learning Research—helping shape how AI is safely deployed at scale.
