In a newly created Center for Clinical Data Science, teams from both companies will develop, test and deploy artificial intelligence software at Partners' largest hospitals: Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital. "This is about creating digital tools that will have a profound impact on medicine, said John Flannery, chief executive of GE Healthcare. "By leveraging AI across every patient interaction, workflow challenge and administrative need, this collaboration will drive improvements in quality, cost and access." The new technologies could reduce unnecessary procedures such as some biopsies and automate tedious medical image review, the companies said. The first use of the technology will focus on medical images from x-rays, MRIs and other scans, which would help determine the impact of a stroke, quickly identify emergency room patients with fractures and help track how tumors respond to new cancer treatments.

Recently, Nasdaq Inc. announced the launch of a new service that looks to put a subset of artificial intelligence technologies toward growing investor profit. Called the Nasdaq Analytics Hub, the new service will leverage machine learning to sift through social media, central bank, retail sentiment and end-of-day trading data, deriving insight that fund managers and traders can then leverage to enhance investment strategies. "We back test the data using a number of strategies," Mike O'Rourke, global head of Machine Intelligence and Data Services at Nasdaq, told Reuters in an interview. "Then we use machine intelligence to add value-added analytics to the data that allows firms to make it more actionable." The newswire noted that financial technology startup Lucena Research scrutinizes the data, sourced from Nasdaq as well as a number of third-party providers.

WASHINGTON – The Intelligence Community is sponsoring a $500,000 prize competition to explore artificial intelligence approaches that would transform the process by which analysts currently support policymakers and warfighters through the research and generation of written products. The Office of the Director of Science and Technology within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence--in partnership with the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence--is launching its first challenge contest, "Xpress," to explore AI-based opportunities for generating analytic products that surpass those crafted by traditional, highly-trained IC analysts. Leveraging private-sector momentum in this area will help ensure that the IC continues to employ cutting-edge methodologies and tools to quickly warn and inform policymakers in an ever more demanding and complex global environment. "Given the pace and breadth of international activity, the IC's analytic community is increasingly challenged to provide policymakers and warfighters with timely information and analysis on a growing number of targets and issues," said Dr. David Isaacson, DS&T program manager for the challenge. "Xpress serves a critical role in exploring the potential for'machine analytics' to enhance existing IC support to our nation's decision makers, ultimately paving the way for analytic production to occur on a timeline and scale that IC analysts and their customers can scarcely imagine today."

Waymo, the self-driving car unit of Google parent Alphabet, has reached an agreement with ridesharer Lyft to test self-driving car technology, the companies said. Waymo and Lyft are joining forces against ridesharing giant Uber, which is racing to develop its own self-driving vehicles. Many other companies such as German carmaker Daimler and California-based Tesla have been stepping up efforts in autonomous driving in recent years. Waymo and Lyft are joining forces against ridesharing giant Uber, which is racing to develop its own self-driving vehicles.

For the second year running, Google's massive I/O developer event will take place at the storied Shoreline Amphitheater, right around the corner from the company's Mountain View headquarters. Last year's conference had a host of major announcements worthy of such a high-profile venue -- it's where Google Home, the Google Assistant and the Daydream VR headset were all introduced. But this year, things seem like they'll be a little quieter, at least in terms of big consumer-facing hardware. It'll probably be a year of refinement, where big initiatives continue to be polished. We'll be there all three days this year, bringing you breaking news, analysis, interviews, videos and more.
