Article - FDA Clears Siemens' AI-Based MRI Interpretation Assistants

#artificialintelligence

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared two additional Siemens Healthineers artificial intelligence-based software assistants in the AI-Rad Companion family. The AI-Rad Companion Prostate MR for Biopsy Support automatically segments the prostate on MRI images and enables radiologists to mark lesions, facilitating targeted prostate biopsies. "These new AI-Rad Companion applications for MR exams in the brain and prostate regions will help physicians manage their workloads and achieve a patient-focused decision-making process to increase efficiency and improve the quality of care," said Peter Shen, Vice President of Innovation and Digital Business at Siemens Healthineers North America. The AI-Rad Companion Brain MR for Morphometry Analysis supports brain volumetry, which involves measuring the volume of gray matter (nerve cells), white matter (nerve cell connections), and cerebrospinal fluid in various segments of the brain and comparing the results to normal volumes. In typical clinical presentation and when combined with independent confirmation, reduced volume may indicate Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, or other forms of dementia.ยน


10 ways AI is improving new product development - Enterprise CIO News

#artificialintelligence

From startups to enterprises racing to get new products launched, AI and machine learning (ML) are making solid contributions to accelerating new product development. There are 15,400 job positions for DevOps and product development engineers with AI and machine learning today on Indeed, LinkedIn and Monster combined. Capgemini predicts the size of the connected products market will range between $519B to $685B this year with AI and ML-enabled services revenue models becoming commonplace. Rapid advances in AI-based apps, products and services will also force the consolidation of the IoT platform market. The IoT platform providers concentrating on business challenges in vertical markets stand the best chance of surviving the coming IoT platform shakeout.


How Saudi Arabia Is Looking To Develop & Integrate Artificial Intelligence In Its Economy

#artificialintelligence

Yet another country has gone to release the potential of artificial intelligence to fuel its economic growth plans. One of the largest oil manufacturing nations, Saudi Arabia, has now formulated and launched a nation-wide policy on AI. The project has been signed with approval from King Salman and aims to add the market value of up to 500 billion riyals (US$133 billion) in the country's GDP by 2030. The policy formulation had begun last year when the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) was established through a royal decree in August 2019 to lead the charge of the nation's transformation into a data-driven economy. Besides, the body is working on implementing a cloud platform, intending to build one of the biggest cloud frameworks in the Middle East by connecting 83 data centres controlled by over 40 government bodies.


How to Evaluate AI Readiness for Government?

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) will disrupt an enormous breadth of business sectors and change companies, organizations and societies. Artificial intelligence is relied upon to bring significant positive effects, as well as the risks and potential traps. The European Union member states as of late signed a Declaration of cooperation on AI to ensure the EU's competitiveness in this field and manage potential challenges emerging from it. The European Commission is likewise boosting funding on the side of AI with the point of expanding in increasing overall investment in it to in any event 20 billion Euros by 2020. For nations, it is of foremost significance to be prepared to receive the benefits of AI.


Shall We Play a Game?

#artificialintelligence

The mission of the AlphaDogFight trials is "essentially pushing the potential for automated aerial conflicts and boosting the trust military personnel need to have in AI systems." It's a three-day showdown that starts Aug. 18 between tech teams picked from around the country, each vying for bragging rights when it comes to the ultimate dogfighting algorithm. However, those teams -- Aurora Flight Sciences, EpiSys Science, Georgia Tech Research Institute, Heron Systems, Lockheed Martin, Perspecta Labs, PhysicsAI and SoarTech -- first need to test their wizardry against five artificial intelligence platforms created by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab. The second day involves round-robin competitions to determine the final four. Those winners square off against each other until a winner is determined.


China's AI tech leaves aside questions of ethics

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence, like other forms of technology, reflects the culture and values of the people who create it and those who provide the data frameworks upon which it is built. AI technology developed in different countries or organizations may thus offer different answers to the same problem. On June 25, the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence, an independent U.S. government body, released, "The Role of AI Technology in Pandemic Response and Preparedness: Recommended Investments and Initiatives." The report makes 10 recommendations, including calls for the creation of a federal "Pandemic Preparedness Dataset" and investment in "the digital modernization of state and local health infrastructure required for effective disease surveillance." It was the commission's third report published since May 6 on AI and the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.


The FAA will test drone detecting technologies in airports this year

Engadget

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will soon be evaluating several drone detecting systems for airports, the agency has announced. It will be testing at least 10 technologies and systems developed not just to detect unmanned aerial systems, but also to mitigate the potential safety risks they pose. The tests are part of the agency's Airport Unmanned Aircraft Systems Detection and Mitigation Research Program and are expected to begin later this year. The first tests will be conducted at FAA's William J. Hughes Technical Center, which is right next to the Atlantic City International Airport in New Jersey. After that, the agency expects to expand its tests to four additional airports in the US.
