Artificial intelligence identifies severe aortic stenosis from routine echocardiograms

#artificialintelligence

Barcelona, Spain โ€“ 28 Aug 2022: A novel artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm uses routine echocardiograms to identify aortic stenosis patients at high risk of death who could benefit from treatment. The late breaking research is presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2022.1 Aortic stenosis is the most common primary valve lesion requiring surgery or transcatheter intervention in Europe and North America.2 Prevalence is rapidly increasing due to ageing populations. Guidelines strongly advise early intervention in all symptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis due to the dismal prognosis. Approximately 50% of untreated patients with aortic stenosis die in the first two years after symptoms appear.3


Leading Procedures to Evaluate Artificial Intelligence

Dominant Algorithms to Evaluate Artificial Intelligence: From the view of Throughput Model is an informative reference for all professionals and scholars who are working on AI projects to solve a range of business and technical problems. The six AI algorithmic pathways represent. As AI is increasingly employed for applications where decisions require explanations, the Throughput Model offers business professionals the means to look under the hood of AI and comprehend how those decisions are attained by organizations. Finally, The Throughput Model provides the first steps towards building architectures that combine the strengths of the symbolic approaches that can be adapted for machine learning/ deep learning, and to develop better techniques for extracting and generalizing abstract knowledge from large, often noisy data sets. As AI is employed more and more for applications where decisions require explanations, the Throughput Model offers the means to look under the hood of AI and comprehend how those decisions are attained by organizations.


Accident Fund Improves Injured Worker Outcomes With CLARA Analytics

#artificialintelligence

AF Group companies will use CLARA's industry-leading technology platform to identify the health care providers best suited to help injured employees recover successfully and return to work quickly. AF Group comprises seven affiliated insurance brands that provide innovative, specialty insurance solutions. AF Group companies utilize industry-leading best practices, analytics and resources to help manage risk and minimize losses for policyholders -- and always strive to provide injured workers with security, compassionate care, and the opportunity to return to work as soon as possible. "Innovation in data analytics is a key pillar in our strategy to be the best at what we do, maintaining a culture of claims excellence and compassionate care for our customers," said Paul Kearney, Chief Claims Officer at AF Group. "Returning to work after an injury helps employees rebuild their livelihoods and restore their quality of life. AF Group companies help those workers using a multifaceted approach that incorporates data analytics, evidence-based medicine, and smart technology. CLARA Analytics aligns nicely with that strategy -- helping injured employees recover quickly while also minimizing losses for policyholders and improving our claims management processes."


Synthetic Medical Imaging: How Deepfakes Could Improve Healthcare

#artificialintelligence

Retrace, a leader in dental artificial intelligence and provider of digital infrastructure for U.S. healthcare, announces the publication, "A generative adversarial inpainting network to enhance prediction of periodontal clinical attachment level" in the August 2022 Edition of the Journal of Dentistry. This groundbreaking study for the first time demonstrates how the use of a novel Generative Adversarial Network (GAN), (U.S. Patent Numbers: US 11,217,350 B2; US 11,276,151 B2; US 11,398,013 B2), often referred to as a "Deep Fake", improves the diagnostic accuracy of AI algorithms in identifying periodontal disease. Medical and dental AI imaging algorithms are often trained on limited data sets from a limited number of providers, patients and imaging sources. As a result, when these algorithms are used in a general production environment, the algorithms struggle to achieve the same level of accuracy as the environment they were trained in. "Over the past few years, we have seen a sharp rise in dental and medical imaging AI companies; some who have even received FDA Clearance," said Dr. Ali Sadat, Founder and CEO of Retrace.

"We offer our deepest apologies to the Black community for our insensitivity in signing this project without asking enough questions about equity and the creative process behind it." On August 14, Capitol Records announced that it had signed FN Meka, a digital rapper and TikTok influencer described by the label as "the world's first A.R. artist to sign with a major label." A press release from FN Meka's 2021 publicist described Meka as an "A.I. powered robot rapper." Meka's first single on the label was "Florida Water," which featured Gunna and gaming streamer Clix. As of today, FN Meka is no longer on a major label; Capitol has announced that it has "severed ties" with the rapper, The New York Times' Joe Coscarelli reports.


Lumina-Research announces release of Random Contrast Learning (RCL) Beta

#artificialintelligence

Today Lumina announced the launch of a new web site for Lumina Research (Lumina-Research.com) and access to the beta version of its machine learning platform, Random Contrast Learning (RCL). RCL has the promise to advance machine learning past the current state-of-the-art offered by neural network technologies. Advantages of RCL include faster training speeds, lower training costs, faster inference speeds, greater sensitivity to pattern recognition, and greater transparency compared to neural networks. RCL achieves these results by employing novel uses of random to train machine learning models. "We are excited to introduce the beta version of RCL to developers and users."

New book co-written by UB philosopher claims AI will "never" rule the world

#artificialintelligence

Barry Smith, PhD, SUNY Distinguished Professor in the Department of Philosophy in UB's College of Arts and Sciences, and Jobst Landgrebe, PhD, founder of Cognotekt, a German AI company, have co-authored "Why Machines Will Never Rule the World: Artificial Intelligence without Fear." Their book presents a powerful argument against the possibility of engineering machines that can surpass human intelligence. Machine learning and all other working software applications the proud accomplishments of those involved in AI research are for Smith and Landgrebe far from anything resembling the capacity of humans. Further, they argue that any incremental progress that's unfolding in the field of AI research will in practical terms bring it no closer to the full functioning possibility of the human brain. There cannot be a machine will, they say.


The Brussels Effect and Artificial Intelligence: How EU regulation will impact the global AI market

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The European Union is likely to introduce among the first, most stringent, and most comprehensive AI regulatory regimes of the world's major jurisdictions. In this report, we ask whether the EU's upcoming regulation for AI will diffuse globally, producing a so-called "Brussels Effect". Building on and extending Anu Bradford's work, we outline the mechanisms by which such regulatory diffusion may occur. We consider both the possibility that the EU's AI regulation will incentivise changes in products offered in non-EU countries (a de facto Brussels Effect) and the possibility it will influence regulation adopted by other jurisdictions (a de jure Brussels Effect). Focusing on the proposed EU AI Act, we tentatively conclude that both de facto and de jure Brussels effects are likely for parts of the EU regulatory regime. A de facto effect is particularly likely to arise in large US tech companies with AI systems that the AI Act terms "high-risk". We argue that the upcoming regulation might be particularly important in offering the first and most influential operationalisation of what it means to develop and deploy trustworthy or human-centred AI. If the EU regime is likely to see significant diffusion, ensuring it is well-designed becomes a matter of global importance.
