The last few decades have witnessed innovations in modern medicine, science and technology at a much faster rate than at any time before in history. A large portion of the credit goes to computers, for helping us solve problems more efficiently and therefore at a faster pace. Most recently, this has included the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning as well as neural networks that can simulate human thought patterns. They can then apply their more efficient brains to issues that desperately require resolution, many of which are in STEM fields like medicine or cryptography. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics, but a far wider range of academic disciplines fall under this description.
