Artificial intelligence is getting the hype, now what are the applications?

Artificial intelligence is a hot topic right now--but whether or not it is going live up to what some are calling the new healthcare reform is still up for discussion. Mayo Clinic Chief Information officer Christopher Ross and PricewaterhouseCooper Managing Director James Golden, tackled questions about the future of AI at HIMSS18. "In some ways [AI] could not be more hyped than it is. There is an enormous expectation for this stuff," Golden said. AI is already proving to be helpful in studies. The pair cited a research study out of Stanford where researchers worked with Google DeepMind to identify cancerous spots in medical images.
