Most of today’s AI is designed to solve specific problems. Popular Science|Dan Baum Today’s artificial intelligence is certainly formidable. It can beat world champions at intricate games like chess and Go, or dominate at Jeopardy!. It can interpret heaps of data for us, guide driver less cars, respond to spoken commands, and track down the answers to your internet search...

Blood based test using AI and nanotechnology devised for chronic fatigue syndrome
By Dr. Ananya Mandal, MD People suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) have been up until now treated with scepticism at best. Their symptoms have been negated as vague and their debilitating condition has not received the status of being proven in a test. No more now! Researchers from Stanford University School of Medicine have devised a blood based test that...

Google’s AI Can Predict When A Patient Will Die
AI knows when you’re going to die. But unlike in sci-fi movies, that information could end up saving lives. A new paper published in Nature suggests that feeding electronic health record data to a deep learning model could substantially improve the accuracy of projected outcomes. In trials using data from two U.S. hospitals, researchers were able to show that these...

Six Challenges To Tackle Before Artificial Intelligence Redesigns Healthcare
The potential of artificial intelligence for making healthcare better is indisputable. The question is how to integrate it successfully into our healthcare systems. For doing so, we have to overcome technical, medical limitations, as well as regulatory obstacles, soothe ethical concerns and mitigate the tendency to oversell the technology. The very first step should...

HOW ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CAN EXPLAIN UNCONSCIOUS DECISION-MAKING
We can learn more about our own internal decision-making processes through the language of mathematical algorithms used by AI machines. If I drive through a stop sign, I might protest to the traffic officer that “I didn’t notice it,” or “it was blocked by a tree,” or “I thought it was a red flag.” And...
