Nicolas Babin disruptive week about Artificial Intelligence – February 1st 2021

I am regularly asked to summarize my many posts. I thought it would be a good idea to publish on this blog, every Monday, some of the most relevant articles that I have already shared with you on my social networks. Today I will share some of the most relevant articles about Artificial Intelligence and in what form you can find it in today’s life. I will also comment on the articles.

Robust artificial intelligence tools to predict future cancer. Researchers created a risk-assessment algorithm that shows consistent performance across datasets from US, Europe, and Asia. To catch cancer earlier, we need to predict who is going to get it in the future. The complex nature of forecasting risk has been bolstered by artificial intelligence (AI) tools, but the adoption of AI in medicine has been limited by poor performance on new patient populations and neglect to racial minorities.

Artificial Intelligence (AI), Evolution and Something Darwin Never Said. Attorneys are, if you ponder the point for a second, the ultimate knowledge workers. Law has always been about managing information, beginning with research, progressing through communication and concluding with a deal or a settlement. Information is the raw material that lawyers move around, work with and shape.

New Global Rackspace Technology Study Uncovers Widespread Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Knowledge Gap. Rackspace Technology™ (NASDAQ: RXT), a leading end-to-end, multicloud technology solutions company today announced the results of a global survey that reveals that the majority of organizations globally lack the internal resources to support critical artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) initiatives. The survey, “Are Organizations Succeeding at AI and ML?” was conducted in the Americas, APJ and EMEA regions of the world, and indicates that while many organizations are eager to incorporate AI and ML tactics into operations, they typically lack the expertise and existing infrastructure needed to implement mature and successful AI/ML programs.

The Amazing Ways Wild Me Uses Artificial Intelligence And Citizen Scientists To Help With Conservation. Did you know that scientists have identified only 1.5 million species out of the 10 million estimated on Earth? And many of those species are vulnerable to extinction. Thanks to the efforts of the non-profit organization Wild Me, the gargantuan task of wildlife preservation is getting a much-needed assist from citizen scientists who photograph and video wildlife when traveling the world, plus high-tech solutions such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and machine vision.

Using artificial intelligence to predict which women will develop breast cancer. A team of researchers with members from institutions in the U.S., Sweden and Taiwan has developed an artificial intelligence system for predicting breast cancer years before tumors appear. In their paper published in the journal Science Translational Medicine, the group describes how they developed and trained their system and how well it worked when tested.

A lot of my articles are about healthcare and Artificial Intelligence. I believe heathcare is the industry that will benefit the most from AI based algorithms. As AI is all about human augmented, with the power of algorithms and the volume of data available, doctors wil be able to benefit from AI help. In my mind AI will never replace doctors, it will assist them make the right diagnostic and predict patholgies that can develop in ceratin patients.
