AI Revolutionizes Healthcare and Beyond
The world of artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly evolving, with breakthroughs in healthcare, technology, and more. Recent news highlights the potential of AI in predicting coronavirus disease 2019 severity, developing robot dogs that learn and adapt like humans, and providing visual navigation for robots.
Predicting COVID-19 Severity
A study published in Nature used explainable AI techniques to predict the severity of COVID-19 in patients. The model, developed using baseline characteristics and blood test findings, achieved an accuracy of 90.55%. Age, LDH levels, Alb levels, and neutrophil count were the most significant factors in predicting critical cases.
Robot Dogs that Learn and Adapt
IntuiCell, a Swedish AI startup, has created a robot dog named Luna that can learn and adapt like humans. The robot has a functional digital nervous system and can make decisions and take actions towards specific goals.
Visual Navigation for Robots
Tera AI has come out of stealth with $7.8 million in seed funding to provide visual navigation for robots. The company's system uses a pure-software, platform-agnostic approach to enable robots to navigate their environments.
AI in Oncology
The global AI in oncology market is valued at $1.92 billion and is expected to reach $11.52 billion by 2030. Companies like BioXcel Therapeutics, Tempus AI, and Quest Diagnostics are leading the charge in AI-driven precision oncology.
AI Security Strategy
Kyndryl has outlined three key guidelines for a practical AI security strategy: focusing on cybersecurity hygiene, not creating a centralized AI security team, and prioritizing data and context value over model value.
