Artificial Intelligence, Computers Are Saving People's Lives

Another example of artificial intelligence doing good is IBM's Watson artificial intelligence engine diagnosing an old woman's leukaemia. The said machine took only 10 minutes to diagnose a rare kind of leukaemia that has been misdiagnosed months earlier. Watson achieved this feat by comparing the patient's genetic changes with 20 million other cancer research papers. This enabled the doctors to perform proper treatment for the patient. In addition to this, the machine also diagnosed another rare type of leukaemia in another patient.
