This free AI reads X-rays as well as doctors

And the consultation is completely private. It's all thanks to open-source AI that runs inside your web browser–or what happens when insurance companies and big pharma stop making the rules of healthcare, and the age of WebMD self-diagnosis is supercharged with machine learning. The Chester AI radiology assistant was developed in work led by Joseph Paul Cohen, a postdoctoral fellow at Mila (the Quebec AI institute) and the University of Montreal. He used an NIH dataset of chest X-rays and diseases to train software to spot diseases in these scans. Though he is not a clinical doctor, Cohen is focused on the intersection of health and deep learning.
