Google's Artificial Intelligence Division Partners With Hospital to Detect Vision Loss Sooner

Google's artificial intelligence division, DeepMind, has teamed up with a hospital in England on a research project that could lead to detecting vision loss and other eye problems sooner, Popular Mechanics writes. The article says the project calls for giving DeepMind's computer more than a million anonymous eye scans to let it learn patterns and make predictions. DeepMind's idea is to train AI to detect early signs of age-related macular degeneration as well as vision loss related to diabetes.
