Artificial Intelligence: Waking up to AI's sleep loss potential

Melbourne: Everyone sleeps, but we have few tools for measuring the sleep the world is getting at scale. AI and sleep could help us study global shocks in near-real time. It's not unusual to hear people complaining about tiredness multiple times a day, but why? Sleep is fundamental to human health, but because it's so private, there are few tools for measuring how much sleep everyone is getting at scale. Existing methods use time diaries, sleep surveys, sleep laboratories or, more recently, wearable technology to measure sleep. But none of these approaches is ready to tackle a global sleep-loss pandemic.
