Don't panic, but Google's AI is now smarter than human doctors
Humanity's relentless march towards a future where machines rule everything gained some ground today, as Google revealed that one of its fancy artificial brains is now better at diagnosing some medical conditions than human doctors are. This should prove extremely valuable for whenever the inevitable robot uprising results in a swift demise for the human race. Google's announced its findings in the Journal of the American Medical Association in a paper detailing the company's work with deep learning algorithms and how they can be utilized for medical purposes. In this particular case, Google set its sights on diagnosing diabetic retinopathy via retina photographs. The neural network Google used for the project was fed over 128,000 images to train it in detecting the condition.
