Can Artificial Intelligence Save Lives? The Chatbot That Can Detect A Heart Attack Using Machine Learning

I can't think of many better uses for artificial intelligence (AI) technology than to save lives. Danish startup Corti must agree because they built, tested and deployed an AI-enabled system that helps emergency dispatchers make life-saving decisions. Currently, Corti's expertise is in identifying cardiac arrest--when the heart has fully stopped--but the company has plans to extend its life-saving assistance and diagnoses to other ailments. There are numerous out-of-hospital cardiac arrests annually--3,500 in Denmark, 30,000 in the UK and more than 350,000 in the United States. They are often deadly, responsible for 15 percent of all deaths in Western countries.
