Medical diagnosis AI in Beijing beats real doctors - Tech Wire Asia

HOW many times have we heard of doctors misdiagnosing patient? It's why most people prefer to get a second and maybe even a third opinion about serious medical conditions. However, with advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), can you imagine how amazing it would be if we could build and train algorithms that look for all the right markers, consider several hundred factors, and take into account all the possible permutations and combinations to deliver "perfect" or even "near perfect" results? Well, news from China suggests that the technology just came to life. According to The Star, an AI-powered system, dubbed BioMind by its creators at the AI Research Centre for Neurological Disorders and Capital Medical University, has defeated elite physicians in two rounds of a medical competition in Beijing.
