Doctors enlist artificial intelligence to help them defeat the coronavirus
Dr. Albert Hsiao and his colleagues at the UC San Diego health system had been working for 18 months on an artificial intelligence program designed to help doctors identify pneumonia on a chest X-ray. When the coronavirus hit the United States, they decided to see what it could do. The researchers quickly deployed their program,…
Machine-learning tool could help develop tougher materials
For engineers developing new materials or protective coatings, there are billions of different possibilities to sort through. Lab tests or even detailed computer simulations to determine their exact properties, such as toughness, can take hours, days, or more for each variation. Now, a new artificial intelligence-based approach developed at MIT could reduce that to a…
How AI and ML are helping first responders
After reading about a startup founded by a combat veteran that was using artificial intelligence to help first responders with behavioral health, Adam Thiel, commissioner of the Philadelphia Fire Department, wanted in. Even though the department has a more traditional face-to-face employee assistance program with access to clinicians, Thiel believed “there was still a gap…
It’s Called Artificial Intelligence—but What Is Intelligence?
Elizabeth Spelke, a cognitive psychologist at Harvard, has spent her career testing the world’s most sophisticated learning system—the mind of a baby. Gurgling infants might seem like no match for artificial intelligence. They are terrible at labeling images, hopeless at mining text, and awful at videogames. Then again, babies can do things beyond the reach…
Marshaling artificial intelligence in the fight against Covid-19
Artificial intelligence could play a decisive role in stopping the Covid-19 pandemic. To give the technology a push, the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab is funding 10 projects at MIT aimed at advancing AI’s transformative potential for society. The research will target the immediate public health and economic challenges of this moment. But it could have a lasting impact on how we evaluate…
