Data Highlights: Top News in Digital Information Sphere
In the realm of technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to make significant strides, particularly in healthcare and beyond. Here are some recent developments that showcase its potential.
Ultromics, a tech company, has developed an AI-enabled software that analyses echocardiograms, offering a new dimension in cardiac care. The software is now being used by the prestigious Mayo Clinic, as part of a study involving 500 COVID-19 patients with cardiovascular conditions. The collaboration aims to identify patients at high risk of cardiac arrest using AI.
Meanwhile, researchers from the University of Vermont have taken a different approach, analysing 100 billion tweets to help natural language processing systems understand slang words. This innovative method could lead to more effective communication between AI systems and people.
In the fight against COVID-19, the Mayo Clinic is not the only institution leveraging AI. Researchers from the Mount Sinai Health System have developed an AI system that can detect COVID-19 using CT scans and patient information. Remarkably, the system can predict if a patient has COVID-19 as accurately as a human radiologist.
The development of this AI system is part of a larger research platform, which involves the CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security. This platform integrates CT images and other patient data to detect COVID-19, focusing on privacy-compliant integration and analysis of various data streams.
Elsewhere, researchers from Imperial College London, University of Freiburg, and University of Texas at Austin have simulated the impact of an asteroid that led to dinosaur extinction. Using supercomputers, they revealed that the asteroid likely made impact at an angle of 60 degrees.
Lastly, researchers from Binghamton University have demonstrated the potential of AI in humanitarian efforts. They have shown that AI can help automate the detection of landmines with up to 99% accuracy, offering a promising solution to a long-standing problem.
These developments underscore the transformative power of AI in various fields, from healthcare to environmental science, and even humanitarian efforts. As AI continues to evolve, we can expect to see more innovations that will shape our world in the years to come.
