Illinois Employers Using AI to Screen Applicants Could Face Litigation, Bloomberg Reports News Events
Bloomberg Law interviewed Shook Attorney Erin Bolan Hines about the Artificial Intelligence Video Interview Act (AIVIA) in "Law on Hiring Robots Could Trigger Litigation for Employers," October 11, 2019. AIVIA is a first-in-the-nation statute that requires employers to take additional transparency steps involving use and destruction of videos when using "hiring robots" as a screening tool for applicants in Illinois. Enforcement of AIVIA is not clear and defense attorneys who advocate for employers are monitoring to see if it will lead to class actions alleging abuses of employees' biometric information. Hines told the publication she predicts plaintiffs will develop theories under the Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) to "test the waters." "There is a hurdle because there is no private right of action in the artificial intelligence statute, but there are some creative plaintiff's lawyers out there," stated Hines.
AI system to help docs spot brain aneuriysms NHK WORLD-JAPAN News
Japan's health ministry has approved the use of a revolutionary piece of artificial intelligence software to help identify brain aneurysms. It is the first time they have approved a deep learning program for use as medical equipment. The system was developed by a Tokyo venture firm called LPIXEL which develops AI software to analyze images. Their EIRL program can process MRI images and flag suspected aneurysms. It also has the ability to learn by itself and keep improving. LPIXEL says the software has outperformed trained radiologists and neurosurgeons in tests.
Ask your AI: Stealing or Starving?
A life full of questionsโฆevery day we ask questions and we answer to others. This is how we learn, communicate, evolve and live. Have you ever counted the question marks in a day (here, another one)? The questions have some weights. Sometimes they are trivial or rhetorical but eventually, they can be crucial and change your complete life.
What Will a Robotic World Look Like?
A fully-automated Earth in which robots work with humanity in every conceivable way has been imagined a million times over in science fiction books, film, games and television. According to our dreams, we might end up living in a world reminiscent of "WALLยทE", in which machines assisted humanity in our environment-shattering quest for more-more-more that ruined the planet; a post-apocalyptic result of AI seeing Homo sapiens as a blight to be wiped out portrayed in "The Terminator"; or an Earth and Solar System where robokind and humans exist together in a strange dichotomy of harmony and distrust as envisioned by the works of Isaac Asimov. If we were to place all of our imagined versions of a robo-enhanced future on a scatter plot, where the X axis is the timeline starting in the present (at 0) and going into the future (say, up to 1,000 years from now), and the Y axis represents the degree to which we get along with our robot companions as a percentage -- with 0 being "Robopocalypse"-level mutually-assured destruction and 100 representing some kind of perfect utopia in which humankind and machines exist together in perfect harmony or have otherwise blended together into a new species -- it might look a little like this: The majority of what many people expect in the nearer future tends to the darker side of things. We compare robotics and the research into artificial intelligence that usually accompanies that with other similarly large advances in technology that often had some scary results. Indeed, work on atomic power began with bombs, led by military programs, and that is where much of the headway is being made today with robotics.

Omega Medical Imaging First in the World to Receive FDA Clearance on Artificial Intelligence Imaging System that Reduces Dose - Omega Medical Imaging
Omega Medical Imaging, manufactures of Artificial Intelligence Fluoroscopy/Cine (AIF/C) Imaging systems, just announced the Food and Drug Administration 510 (k) clearance of FluoroShield with their 2020 Cardiac Flat Panel Detector. The unique FluoroShield system allows for auto collimation during interventional fluoro or cine cases while maintaining a perspective of surrounding anatomy. The blended image incorporates a lower frequency refresh of the peripheral image area. This combined image (live fluoroscopy or cine of ROI background refreshed at a rate of once or twice per second) increases the quality of information presented during interventional procedures. Brian Fleming, President of Omega Medical Imaging states, "Until now products on the market have only been able to manage radiation to patients and staff. FluoroShield is the only system in the world that provides an actual reduction in dose. The impact of this groundbreaking solution for patients and healthcare providers is substantial. I am very grateful to be a part of a team that pushes the envelope in the development of safer healthcare solutions."
