Latest Highlights in Digital Data News
In the world of technology, artificial intelligence (AI) is making waves in various fields. Let's take a look at some recent developments that highlight AI's versatility.
Vietnam is making a name for itself in the esports scene by hosting the first Reinforcement Learning Competition. This unique tournament sees teams using AI to create autonomous players based on reinforcement learning algorithms. Each round concludes with consultation from AI experts, helping teams refine their programming codes to keep their players at the top of the game.
Meanwhile, across the globe, researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine have been working on predicting loneliness in older adults using AI. Their tool has achieved impressive accuracy, reaching 94% compared to a standard loneliness assessment. Interestingly, the tool revealed differences in the way men and women talk about loneliness. Women were more likely to directly acknowledge feeling lonely, while men were more likely to use fearful and joyful words to express loneliness.
AI is also proving to be a valuable tool in healthcare. Researchers from Monash University, Alfred Health, and the Royal Melbourne Hospital in Australia are using machine learning to detect epilepsy from recordings of electrical brain activity. Similarly, a machine learning model can diagnose patients with epilepsy more quickly by identifying abnormal spikes in electrical activity among neurons.
Hexagon, a Swedish technology company, has developed an AI tool to assist emergency call operators. The tool identifies patterns, similarities, and anomalies in incident reports, alerting relevant operators about trends that may indicate major incidents or linked incidents, such as a fire or multi-bank robbery.
In the realm of public health, AI is playing a crucial role in early detection of diseases. The Defense Innovation Unit, an organization of the U.S. Department of Defense, is using AI to detect coronavirus early in asymptomatic military personnel using biometric data from wearable devices. Another AI tool developed specifically for this purpose uses biomarkers like pulse and blood pressure to identify physiological responses specific to infectious virus agents before symptoms emerge.
These developments demonstrate the vast potential of AI in transforming industries, from esports to healthcare and public safety, and its role in improving our lives. As research and technology continue to advance, we can expect to see even more innovative applications of AI in the near future.
