Biomedical engineers in the UK have even created a bionic hand that senses the shape of the object in front of it and directs the hand how to move in order to grasp it.AI uncovers serious health issues. The same kind of neural networks that make it possible for Google and Facebook to recognize faces in photos can spot diseases on medical scans.For example, AI identifies signs of disease on X-rays, including tuberculosis. AI tools draw from patient data, clinical insights and deep learning to find brain bleeds. Researchers in Houston developed AI software that quickly interprets mammogram results. The software uses natural language processing to assess imaging, patient data and pathologic breast cancer cues, which doctors use to assess cancer risk. Cox Communications has invested in telehealth and home health solutions, and offers healthcare providers the ability to manage, share and synthesize patient records to make decisions about effective care. Gregory B. MorrisonAI goes beyond software that simply responds to input or behavior. True AI actually learns on its own. The more we use AI, the smarter it getsThe Next Best ThingAI isn't close to transforming our lives into an apocalyptic Steven Spielberg movie (and thank goodness). Machines cannot yet replace human flexible cognition, nor would we want them to. Nobody knows a perfect solution to security, privacy and workforce changes, because every application of AI calls for specific considerations for evolving and even unknown complexities. What I know is that automating predictive analytics and streamlining our lives and work through AI is just the latest variation on an age-old theme. From the birth of large, consolidated computer systems, to the Internet, to bots, businesses have applied new technology to save time and resources and preserve as much valuable data as possible. We think back to those mainframes as clunky and antiquated.In 20 years, perhaps we'll consider this age of cloud computing as rudimentary. By then, we might possess the ability to--so to speak--squeeze all of the data from a cloud into one single drop.Anything is possible.
